             Summary: User defined run order via -Dtest=...
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1196
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1196
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.18.1
            Reporter: Falko Modler


While analyzing a test failure, I wanted to execute a couple of tests in a specific order via {{-Dtest=...}} to rule out any data interferences between the tests involved.
But I missed the fact that the list of tests is just used as an include filter (and disables any excludes). The {{runOrder}} (alphabetical", "reversealphabetical", "random", "hourly", "failedfirst", "balanced" or "filesystem") kicks in making it impossible to enforce the execution order.

*Suggestions for a solution*
- introduce {{runOrder}} "predefined" which can be combined with {{test}}
- or introduce a new parameter like {{surefire.testInOrder}}
