Description

What feature do you want to see added?

The new failures summary page shows the test name in front of the package/class name, and sorting is done by test name first. The result is that tests from different packages are grouped together:

It would be nice to get the previous behavior of sorting by package/class name before test name, or even allow both.

Research direction

Start at the new test failures summary page and trace how its current test-name-first sorting is implemented. Compare the behavior with the requested package/class-first ordering, and consider how both sort choices could be exposed; done means failures can be grouped by package/class before test name or sorted by either field.
