Use a test runner that runs all the tests regardless of previous 
errors? (and does them in multiple threads, hooray!)

Then you'll at least get to know everything that failed instead 
of just whatever happened to be lexically first.

I agree that some ordering system might improve the 
time-to-narrow-down-bug-location a bit, but the above might be 
acceptable nonetheless.
