[Python-Dev] order of unittest.TestCase execution?

I'm trying to write a regression test for dumbdbm (well, officially I'm
updating the current test, but it's taking a beating).  I'm unclear on the
order of method execution.  Can I rely on multiple test methods to be run in
alphabetical order?  That's the case currently.  If possible, I'd like to
guarantee that the db creation test is run before the others.  I couldn't
find the code in test_support.py or unittest.py where a test case instance
with multiple methods is run.

Thx,

Skip
