When tests are run alphabetically, it makes it tough to run the same tests in 
specific orders.  I wanted to be able to take a single test, and run it 
combined with other tests in varying orders.  celsoft.com/Battery lets me 
create batteries in which I add the same test multiple times but in the order 
I choose.
