The reordering and grouping of tests together in django.test.reorder_suite isn't a ""stable sort"".

If all of the tests are of the same type, then if I have an array of tests called 'x', then for all permutations of the elements of 'x', stable_sort(x) == x."		closed	Testing framework	1.2		wontfix		w004dal@…	Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
