Undefining an ERT test?

For me one flaw of ERT is that it runs tests in alphabetical order, not the order in which they were defined. I'd like to test initialization before I test more interesting function, for example.

To get around this my tests tend to begin with a 3 digit number (starting at 000), and I have code that will renumber them for me. (Test 000-... runs before test 001-..., before 002-..., etc.) Unfortunately, ERT remembers the previous names (and the corresponding test) and when I want to run test 012-..., for example, with (ert "012-") ERT might pick up a "former" test with a matching name. This is not unsurmountable, but it's distracting and occasionally confusing.

So, the question is: Is there something like (fmakunbound) for ERT?

If this is what winning looks like, I'd hate to see what losing is.
