That goes counter to the idea of parallel execution, where you want the
long-running tests front-loaded so that the shorter tests can fill in
the gaps. If the long-running tests are last, then the entire parallel
operation is stuck waiting for the last test. Is there any way this can
be made conditional, because there are good arguments for both orderings?
