Description

When ordering the test list by duration I obtain:

Result Test Duration Links
Passed test_a 9.31
Passed test_d 47.04
Passed test_b 4.52
Passed test_c 1.63

This order is done by alphanumeric and not by duration.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported ordering in the generated test list and inspect how the Duration column is sorted. Done means durations such as 1.63, 4.52, 9.31, and 47.04 appear in numeric order rather than alphanumeric order.
