Specify Execution Order of Files

[mbovell]

By default, Cucumber features/scenarios are run in the order:

1. Alphabetically by feature file directory
2. Alphabetically by feature file name
3. Order of scenarios within the feature file

I would like to specify the execution order I want the files to run:

kosher run features/folder2/test3.feature features/folder1/test1.feature

@mbovell , please explain why you want this feature. This sort of practice is normally discouraged because each Feature file (and, ideally, each scenario within a feature file) should be able to run in any order independently of the other scenarios and feature files.

Example: There is a feature file to create inputs, a feature file to edit the inputs, and a feature file to delete the inputs. I normally wouldn't put that entire test in one file to creating modularity, but if they are separate, I can run them as a full test suite in any order or individually.

It's not a big deal because these are small tests, and I can combine the scenarios. I also can name the files in such a way that they run in alphabetical order, I was looking for added flexibility. No need to add this feature, I saw that it was available in cucumber that's why I asked.
