Comment (by wrwrwr):
Update: rebased [https://github.com/django/django/pull/3543 the pull],
split some line breaking fixes into another commit, moved the new test to
a better place and made the option reverse test cases within test classes
(as defined in
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/testing/overview/#order-in-
which-tests-are-executed testing docs]), but leave the classes in the
working order.
As
[https://github.com/wrwrwr/django/commit/00a5eebf2e798a4cc53b18e77aacefcef2efe482#commitcomment-8682804
noticed] by Preston, there is actually another level of reversing to
consider. First, reversing labels should always work. Secondly, Django
sorts tests into `django.TestCase`, `django.SimpleTestCase` and
`unittest.TestCase`, these groups shouldn't be probably reversed as the
order is guaranteed in documentation. Thirdly, cases within groups should
be independent. And lastly, test methods would better be independent too
(though there can be some reasonable exceptions).
