      when seeing JUNIT test results on jenkins (output from a normal mvn job or a result of xUnit plugin), you see passed tests in an alphabetically order. (see attached image).

      on some scenarios it is important to see the results in the order they were run (sorted by date), similar to the 'Failed Tests List' shown if there were failed tests.

      it it possible to add an option (checkbox) to choose how the test results will be sorted in the report? (alphabetically or chronologically)

      thanks.

          Removed dependency to xUnit plugin.
          xUnit plugin delegates to the JUnit core.
          Therefore, the issue is only on junit component.

          correction.

          Failed tests order also is not ordered by 'date' but but 'age' which i assume means "for how long this test has been failing...".
          Is there an option to control the way the "failed tests list" is sorted?

          Indeed alphabetical order is very frustrating (refer to test_results.png), specially where tests are run in scenarios (in brackets)

          For complex tests that depend on external resources, it is sometimes the case that a certain test failure will make the rest of the tests also fail. When tests are sorted chronologically, such situation is much more apparent.
