Can anybody tell me how to queue up the NUnit test cases.e.g. if i want to run my 5 test cases in 2,4,1,3,5 order how can i assign them to do so? And where?

A:
This sounds like you'll be violating some fundamental rules of unit testing. Tests should be self-contained (hence "unit"), and should not have a dependency order - anyone should be able to run any test or subset of tests at any time.
All tests should return any external resources they use to the original state.
If you really need to run them in a certain order, it would be up to your test runner tool to provide that option. What are you using to run the tests? And what are you trying to accomplish that you would need an ordered set of tests?

This is a very good answer, order shouldn't matter.

Thanks for your response. I am using NUnit(GUI) version 2.4.6. Actually,I needed this to run a set of individual test cases say, 1) Adding a category 2) Rename the category 3) Add parameters to the category 4) Delete the category Now, if for once I want to run it in 1,2,3,4 order and other time in 1,3,2,4 where can i queue them up?

It sounds like you could benefit from a mocking/isolation framework. This would allow you to simulate a state for tests 2, 3 and 4 to operate without relying on each other.
