Description

Need support to set the order to the apis like first call POST api test and then get api test?

What I understood from the discussion on community is : We cannot set the order of the API calls during a test because it's contract-testing and operations are not supposed to have any dependency. That said, this feature is regularly discussed to have a default ordering like POST -> GET -> PUT -> DELETE or to be able to add some metadata to set an order to operations in tests.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start with the linked Zulip discussion and clarify whether the accepted behavior is a default POST → GET → PUT → DELETE order, user-provided metadata, or both; done should mean API operations execute in a documented, verifiable order during tests.
