Description
Is it possible to use pytest-randomly but selectively disable shuffling of functions in classes?
Similar to https://github.com/jbasko/pytest-random-order#disable-shuffling-in-module-or-class
This could allow incremental tests, as described in https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/example/simple.html#incremental-testing-test-steps but still allow some randomness.
In incremental tests where previous functions may depend on prior steps (organized in functions in a class) random order would expectedly fail.

Research direction
Start by comparing the requested behavior with pytest-random-order's selective shuffling example and pytest's incremental-testing documentation. Determine how class-level function shuffling could be disabled while retaining randomness elsewhere, then verify that incremental test steps remain ordered and other tests are still shuffled.
