the only way to ensure identical order from run to run, across different
systems (and changes in file inodes ordering) is to explicitly list the
tests in the wanted order. otherwise it's up to the inodes order under
./t.
Since I mess with tests anyway now (see my other post from a few minutes
ago), do you want to add yet another mode 'sort'?
But, hey, look at the random mode I've just added. Why would you want to
ensure the same order in tests? That's not the way QA works :)
