zope.testing should run unit tests first

[Marius Gedminas]

Old versions of zope.testing ran the unit test layer first. This made a lot of sense to me (unit tests are more likely to pinpoint the failure that could otherwise cause all functional tests to fail, and usually they finish quicker).

Please make the layer sorting logic put the unit test layer first (it's now sorted alphabetically and often ends up being last).

I prefer the nominated (and previous) behavior as well.

I can fix the code for this, but fixing the doctests (which stupidly mandate the current behavior) is beyond my patience. I am uploading a patch with the actual changes needed to make this go (including new unittests of the untested code which orders the layers), and leave it to somebody who sees more value than I do in those doctests to finish up.
