Yeah, this seems necessary. Ideally the order ought to be stable, too.
Do you think that the current order of .exps should be preserved in the
resultant .sum and .logs? I guess some people and/or build farms
actually use diff rather than compare_tests?
That would be nice, but you could sort your FAILs if it changed and be
able to compare the sorted lists.
But stability within a given revision of the testsuite I think would be
almost essential.
