Remove the undocumented feature that allows test functions to be executed in random order. The feature was designed to expose unintended dependencies between test functions -- test functions are only supposed to depend on the initTestCase() and init() functions. Aside from the lack of documentation, there are a number of problems with this feature. Most importantly, running the tests in random order has only a 50% chance of exposing dependencies between test functions. A better strategy would be to run the test functions in reverse order and complain if that produces different results to running the tests in the normal order. Additionally, the random order is not deterministic, so even if a dependency is exposed during a test run, there's no guarantee that it will be exposed again. The feature allows the user to optionally supply a random seed to make the "random" order deterministic, but as rand() implementations are not identical across platforms, even that does not guarantee that dependencies between test functions will be exposed deterministically.
