Right now I have this in my appveyor.yml:

image:
- Visual Studio 2015
- Visual Studio 2017
environment:
  matrix:
    - nodejs_version: "4"
    - nodejs_version: "6"

This currently means I get this execution order of tests:
VS15 node4, VS15 node6, VS17 node4, VS17 node6

Is there a way to influence this order somehow to e.g.
VS17 node6, VS15 node6, VS17 node4, VS15 node4
?

   You can use APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE environment variable to tweak it. See example below. image: section should be removed.

   environment:
     matrix:
       - nodejs_version: "6"
         APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE: Visual Studio 2017
   
       - nodejs_version: "6"
         APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE: Visual Studio 2015
   
       - nodejs_version: "4"
         APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE: Visual Studio 2017
   
       - nodejs_version: "4"
         APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE: Visual Studio 2015

   Ahh, I didn't remove image: in my testing and got a multiple of the tests I wanted to run - now I know why. Thanks!
