Hi,
  
 Just noticed that we can actually specify the testing order using annotation. But after browsing the api doc, I realized that the expressive power of Methodsorters is a bit limited. Currently there are only three kinds of sorting method we can specify. Imagining a test scenario which might require collaboration of a couple of methods or even test classes in a user desired order, it will be of value for testers to specify testing order using a declarative method. So I wonder if we can enrich the semantics of Methodsorters by adding more available sorting methods? Like maybe we can specify “before X class”, “after Y class” and “in parallel with Z class”?
  
 I am happy to write code for this idea. If you think this might be an interesting idea, then we can discuss in more detail.
  
 Also not sure if you guys have Chinese version wiki. If not I am also happy to do translation work because Junit does have a large group of users in China. A Chinese version wiki or some sorts of document can definitely facilitate their daily work. More importantly, for University students who are keen to lean Junit by themselves, this will help a lot (Not every Chinese university student is proficient at English so instead of letting them be taught by numerous unofficial translated Junit user menus, it will be very helpful if there is an official and up-to-date wiki available.).
  
 Thanks for your time.
  
 Cheers,
 Shepherd
