Comment (by aaugustin):
This proposal for test case reordering still assumes that all
TransactionTestCase define available_apps. I'm not sure we can provide a
generic solution, and the current code (hack?) looks good enough for
Django's own test suite.
Indeed, our problem is that we want to express "between X and X" in terms
of "before X" and "after X", and we don't have enough context to optimize
things. One possibility would be to add a global variable to track
information about the state of the database, so the next test case could
know what the previous did. Still, as long as we try to maintain strict
backwards compatibility, there's no silver bullet.
