The OP explained the "why" clearly in his first post, he wanted to see 
his test results ordered in a certain way to make debugging easier, to 
quote the OP:

"""
... I just want to take the first test that fails and analyse that 
instead of guessing the point to start debugging from the N failed tests.
"""

and then he goes on concluding that he need to reorder the tests itself 
and to replace __dict__ with OrderedDict. While it is possible to 
replace __dict__ with OrderedDict and it is possible to reorder the 
test, those are not his original problem, and the optimal solution to 
his original problem differs from the optimal solution to what he think 
he will need.

I had said this before and I'm saying it again: the problem is a test 
result displaying issue, not testing order issue.
