I ran into this in my test also.  What I ended up doing is naming my
tests:          
        def test01_SomeMeaningfulTestName
                Code to test stuff
        end
 
        def test02_SomeMeaningfulTestName
                Code to test stuff
        end

        def test03_SomeMeaningfulTestName
                Code to test stuff
        End
        
        Etc.

Note:  'alphabetical' appears to be ascii based meaning your results may
be unexpected if you use numbers to try and force a specific order of
execution.  Which means 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12...will actually be
executed as 1 10 11 12 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9.  To get around this you would
need to do this:  01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12...

Forgive me if the seems overly obvious to you but it is usually the
simple and obvious things that mess me up ;-).

Hope this helps,

Subject: [Wtr-general] How to specify the order of execution of the
tests?

Hi,
  How to specify the order/sequence of execution of tests while running
all tests in a folder at once? Right now the tests in the folder are
executed in the order of their names alphabetically.
Is there a way to specify the sequence of execution of tests?
 
 
Thanks in advance
Amitha
