Order test cases using playlist for automation test

Question

I am using playlists for running test cases in a particular order(which are dependent on one another). The first time I am using playlist it worked correctly. But once I close the visual studio and open again the playlist is not working. Here is my code.

    [TestMethod]
    public void Test2()
    {
      // code
    }
    [TestMethod]      
    public void Test1()
    {
        //code
    }    
     [TestMethod]       
     public void Test3()
     {
         //code
     }

My execution requirement is in Test1,Test2,Test3 manner but it is executing in Test2,Test1,Test3 order. After opening if I remove some test cases from the playlist and add them again from test explorer, then I am getting the desired result (but the issue if I close the solution still exists.). Tried searching on the internet but couldn't find any solution. Couldn't even find a post with similar problem like mine. Hoping someone had the same issue like this. Let me know if you need further information.

For ordering tests, use "ordered test" present in visual studio. Playlists not meant to create order in your test cases.
