One easy case for understanding: One test tests the generation of test
data. It is listed in the middle of the tests. Many tests are using this
funtionality and if they doesn't work, they are red. If the fundametal
tests run first, it is more clear what error should be searched.

In this case it was not so heavy to find, but it show, what I mean. Of
course we can now select by category manually, but automatically sorting
is quite better way.

Title:
  Categories Priority

Status in NUnit Test Framework:
  New

Bug description:
  Some tests are more important than others. In the Gui, all tests are
  listed alphabetical. But we have some tests which must be successful.
  If they are not, about 100 other tests miss. We have lost much time to
  find out, that not the test does not work, but the tear down which
  uses one of our function, that does not worked (tested also in an
  other test for itself).

  So my purposal is to add a priority to a CategoryAttribut and
  optionally use the priority of the maximum of all categories. There
  existes a category-Tab in the gui so simple a checkbox can be added
  "use categories for test order".

  I think, this would be very helpfull. Everyone can write ones
  categories like Important, Basic which high priority or Detailed with
  low priority.
