title: Name ascending @FixMethodOrder not working for Junit tests
body: <p>While testing my own ArrayList implementation, I set up an instance of MyArrayList class before tests and in order to check whether my logic works how it should in implemented methods I used @FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING). However, once I run my tests, the order to of tests that were executed is not lexicographical.</p>

  <p>Here is the order of my tests that were executed. It always remains the same, no matter how I change the name of my test methods:</p>

  <p>Where did i make a mistake? I have also tried to use the annotation not on this abstract class but on the class that inherits from it, but it didn't help either. </p>
