Description

There are situations where test order is important and its lack causes test failure. E.g. I see a number of failures in quota testing in hadoop smokes caused by wrong order of the test cases.

iTest currently has a mechanism to order parametrized tests. However, parametrization seems like an overkill in some cases. For those a simple ordering will be sufficient.
