Hi Laird, The execution order of the methods within a test class is in control of Junit itself.
AFAIK, Junit 4.11 contains a change to order the execution of @Test methods alphabetically by default. [1] has some information on how to control that behavior. I think what's now called the "JVM" sorting was the default behavior in previous versions.
