----------------------------------

Okay so to use this all we have to do is extend OrderedTest and add -1/0/1 as annotations?  If so thats a nice utility to have.  

But, just a thought, do we really want to encourage people to write dependent unit tests? it could lead to alot of very unmodular tests.

> 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.
