What will happen if you choose OK instead of cancel in this dialog box?
Listing OK last improves the flow, because the dialog box "ends" with its conclusion. Also, as with Previous/Next, you could argue that OK is the choice that moves the user forward, whereas Cancel moves the user back.
Should cancel be on left or right?
In most languages, people are accustomed to read from left side to right side, so it accords with our speech habits to put ok-key on the left side of cancel-key. 2. “Ok/cancel” type make it easier to see and select ok-key.
What should cancel button do?
What does the Cancel button do exactly? It dismisses the user's current screen and brings them back to their previous one. This dismissive button is a safeguard to prevent unwanted changes to the system.
