Re: Why not add tests order control to Dejagnu, I find a way.

But even if you call files and directories by sequential numbers, you can not 
test it crossingly( I do not know if this word is proper.)
I mean, take a case for example. You have a directory tree like that:

01_xx/01_yy/01.exp
01_xx/02_zz/02.exp
02_aa/01_bb/03.exp
02_aa/02_cc/04.exp

You now have a sequence: 01.exp,02.exp,03.exp,04.exp. But mybe at one point you 
have follow another order  03.exp,01.exp,04.exp,02.exp. You must change the 
whole directory tree, at most times, it is not really you want.

So if you have a file specified the priority with no dependence on directory, 
you can do what you wish just by changing some entries. It is why I said this 
feature is valueable for some people like you and me. A lot of no sense working 
should be avoided.
