Ah, I started at the bottom of my inbox and worked back... why does
it matter what order the tests run? The xUnit idea is that each test
(and its associated setup/teardown) should stand alone.

Hmm, that comment seems to be out of date. @TESTS is piled into a
hash, then the keys are listed as you said.

That would do it, yes. Did you see in Test/Unit/TestCase.pm,
# Returns a list of the tests run by this class and its superclasses.
# DO NOT OVERRIDE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
sub list_tests {

Maybe that comment could be more helpful... 8-/

Well it could be that you are missing something. If you try to avoid
using side effects from each test, then the order should not matter.
I suppose one day the tests may be run in parallel. That would be
neat, and it would also be incompatible with explicit test ordering.
