Description

in long running test suites (especially with xdist), it's useful to run the slowest tests first so that you end up with better load. the following code seems to do so:
```
def pytest_collection_modifyitems(config, items):
try:
with open(".test_durations") as f:
s = f.read()
durations = json.loads(s)
except FileNotFoundError:
durations = {}

timings = {}
for item in items:
path, _, reqname = item.location
request_id = f"{path}::{reqname}"
timing = durations.get(request_id, None)
if timing is not None:
timings[item] = timing

meantime = sum(timings.values()) / len(timings)
# sort by highest time first
items.sort(key=lambda item: -timings.get(item, meantime))
```
but i was thinking it might be good for this to be available in the pytest-split plugin itself, so we don't need to add this same function across different projects.

alternatively, i was thinking publishing this as a plugin myself, if pytest-split does not want to add it.
