pytest-ordering doesn't honor test dependencies

What do you think the behavior should be in this case?

[FFY00]

The dependencies should be run first.

Hi all, I also think that should be very useful to automatically reorder the test execution based on dependencies. Should be nice if pytest-dependency and pytest-ordering will join their efforts.

This issue of pytest-dependency is related: https://github.com/RKrahl/pytest-dependency/issues/20

I didn't want a dependency on networkx for @jwineinger 's solution (https://gist.github.com/jwineinger/e41473cd5500554a189d8c97ac28f883), so I rolled my own solution that worked for my (admittedly) not-so-large test set: https://gist.github.com/phillip-lu-axomic/3a8c8c246975667da3162decac9b5f2e

Hopefully this is of some use to others.

FWIW, I also added an option to order dependencies in my fork, though it looks like the issue is on the way to be solved in pytest-dependency.
