The Maven Surfire plugin allows you to specify some order by setting the runOrder element: http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#runOrder

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.18.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <groups>${testcase.groups}</groups>
                <runOrder>reversealphabetical</runOrder>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

To order the methods within a class Junit comes with a FixMethodOrder annotation. However I had to warn against doing such things. Unit tests should be independent and not require state from the previous test to work.

The class order however requires a suite, however this is also annotation based and so very small. 

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({TestA.class, TestB.class})
public class TestSuite {
}

@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class TestA {
    @Test
    public void testA1() {
        System.out.println("testA1");
    }

    @Test
    public void testA2() {
        System.out.println("testA2");
    }
}

@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class TestB {
    @Test
    public void testB1() {
        System.out.println("testB1");
    }

    @Test
    public void testB2() {
        System.out.println("testB2");
    }
}
