How were you doing it?  Using TEST_FILES?

By default 'make test' has to run the tests in sorted order.  Lots of
modules rely on this.  In 5.X it was done by coincidence, since t/*.t
produces a sorted list of files in most shells, 6.X does it explicitly.

If you can figure a way to keep the default behavior and let people override
the order and not have the resulting 'make test' shell command be enormous,
patch it.
