I *used* to sort them but that destroys the order I want to have them execute in. I wanted them to execute in the order they are declared in the file... the only other alternative I thought about was manually parsing the file and finding all lines starting with "test_" and doing it that way... maybe I will!
I will find a way that is simple. No worries.
