Description
A snippet of the log says
FAILED TO LOAD 'C:/jenkins/workspace/is_test_winxp_develop/Data/ILLIN5_Sample_096003.nxs' WITH ERROR: Cannot allocate 402653184 bytes of memory to load the data
This appears to be an issue with the order of loading. When loading separately in MantidPlot on XP the files do load successfully. It would appear that the by the time it gets to these files in the test that it can't allocated ~380Mb of contigous memory & falls over.
The use of XP is getting very low now so just reorder the files to avoid too much effort in mangling to code to avoid this.

Add a list of files that are to be loaded first by LoadLotsOfFiles.
Basically avoids a problem on lower-powered XP machine that it's not worth changing the code to fix as the actual file does load in normal circumstances. Refs #8615

- Status changed from inprogress to verify
- Resolution set to fixed
Branch: bugfix/8615_loadlotsoffiles_order in the systemtests repository only.
Tester: This was only a problem on Windows XP. I suggest just looking here and seeing that the latest develop run did not fail on LoadLotsOfFiles as the previous ones have been doing. There is currently another broken test but that is being fixed elsewhere.
