 * It can not be used with dependsOnMethods parameter (from @Test) as in such situation TestNG will execute method
 * specified in this parameter before one marked with @FirstTest.
 *
 * 2. It moves class to be run as a first among not depending upon other test classes
 *
 * Beware that not all methods and classes can be reordered, only those which don't have any methods depended upon
 * (for more see javadoc for org.testng.IMethodInterceptor)
