testng: Priority of test methods is ignored

TestNG Version

org.testng:testng:7.0.0

(This worked just fine with version 6.9.6)

Expected behavior

Because of the set priorities I expect following execution order: test05 test04 test02 test03 test01

This works when running from Eclipse IDE.

Actual behavior

Unfortunately, when running from IntelliJ or Gradle (tried with 5.4.1 and 5.6.2) it results in following execution order: test01 test02 test03 test04 test05

Is the issue reproductible on runner?

• Shell
• Maven
• Gradle
• Ant
• Eclipse
• IntelliJ
• NetBeans

Test case sample

I have following test class:

public class TryOut {

	@Test(priority = 4)
	public void test01() {
		System.out.println("test01");
	}

	@Test(priority = 3)
	public void test02() {
		System.out.println("test02");
	}

	@Test(priority = 3)
	public void test03() {
		System.out.println("test03");
	}

	@Test(priority = 2)
	public void test04() {
		System.out.println("test04");
	}

	@Test(priority = 1)
	public void test05() {
		System.out.println("test05");
	}
}

build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'java'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.testng:testng:7.0.0'
}

// Test Logging
test {
	useTestNG()
    testLogging {
        showStandardStreams = true
    }
}

The Gradle command: ./gradlew test --tests mypackage.TryOut
