Run Junit test using android instrumentation on a package with classes in specific order

Question

I am trying to run android instrumentation Junit test using command line.I am using following command and it is launching the test right.

adb shell am instrument -w com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

My android project package has following java source files (in alphabetical order)

com.android.foo

ActivityTest

ContactsTest

LaunchTest

SendTest

When I run the test using the above mentioned command, the test starts executing ActivityTest first and so on. This is not what I want, I want it to execute LaunchTest first followed by ContactTest, SendTest and ActivityTest. I tried using

adb shell am instrument -w -e class com.android.foo.LaunchTest,com.android.foo.ContactTest com.android.foo/android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner

but it gives me an error may be because I am not using TestCase class in my code but instead my LaunchTest and others extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2.

any help is appreciated.
