tests run by definition order

• fixes Order of test runs in suite #194

Thanks @leebenson,

I'm afraid I'm still unconvinced about the functionality. We can follow the discussion in the issue #194 and we can reopen the PR if and when we agree this should be implemented and this solution is relying on specified behaviour from Go.

@ernesto-jimenez what's the downside?

Alphabetical is an arbitrary order by default. It assumes a 1:1 correlation between name and run order.

If your argument is that definition order shouldn't be linked to run order, then that's equally arbitrary and therefore ordering by method definition makes no material difference to users that don't rely on a particular sequence order.

It's exactly the same thing either way - except my way, you're now satisfying users like myself, the two other guys that opened the issue in #194, and no doubt hundreds of others who DO care about order.

Again - what's the downside?
