IMHO, you can receive results ordered by using a subselect:

SELECT T.s_name, ag_concat(T.c_name)
  FROM (SELECT s.name, c.name
          FROM state AS s
          INNER JOIN city AS c ON (c.idstate = s.idstate)
          ORDER BY s.name, c.name) AS T (s_name, c_name)
  GROUP BY T.s_name;


Regards.
