Could you try the following code and tell me if this does what you
needed? (You might use the Unix sort command to sort the entries in
the <file>.loc, which is the list of cases file written by LaTeX). 

<--------------------------- start ----------------->

\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\newcounter{case}
\newcommand{\case}[1]{\par\textbf{#1}%
    \addcontentsline{loc}{case}%
    {\string\numberline{\string\caseno}#1}{\thepage}}
\def\caseno{\stepcounter{case}{\thecase.}}    
\def\listcasename{List of Cases}
\def\listofcases{%
    \section*{\listcasename}%
      \@mkboth{\listcasename}%
         {\listcasename}%
    \@starttoc{loc}}
\let\l at case\l at figure
\makeatletter

\begin{document}

\listofcases

\newpage

\case{Case A}
\case{Case B}
\case{Case C}

\newpage

\case{Case G}
\case{Case H}
\case{Case A}

\newpage

\case{Case D}
\case{Case E}
\case{Case F}

\end{document}
