Please include test ordering as a standard feature in pytest

This has been already implemented as a plugin, but it would be nice to have it as a default feature.

pip install pytest-ordering

Why not keep it as a plugin?

maintenance. it is a useful feature and could break in the future in not maintained properly.

IMHO, that's not a good reason to move it to the core, but it is a good reason to ask the plugin to be moved to the pytest-dev organization. Also, the plugin seems to be maintained just fine.

Created ftobia/pytest-ordering#32 for it, so I'm closing this for now. @mherkazandjian please feel free to reopen if you want to.

At first glance, doesn't this break setup order reordering, which is a important feature

i am not really sure how the plugin works... i thought i'd ask a quick question about the idea i had.
