in your code, your  are  not  'running' the test cases with your order
you're just loading Testcase declarations. All the collected test classes
are 'run' when your loop is finished.
The test-classes are running in alphabetical order ("TC_Four", "TC_One",
"TC_Three", "TC_Two")

And how come

it doesn't  -  it does perfectly the puts and then the load-statement but
since the load is only loading declarations you will see no output (like in
every other class declaration which is included in a ruby program).
