I believe it is considered to be a bad practice to rely on the order in which the (acceptance) tests should be run, but for testing "deeply nested features" (I don't know if there is a standard term for that) it might help to save time (I mean to save the time of repeating the same set of operations before each test; what I have in mind are actually Protractor tests).
So my question is whether there is a standard reliable way to fix the order in which Jasmine tests are perfomed.
