How do I change the order of tabs in a form?
Change the tab order for controls

What should be the navigation order on a webpage for a keyboard user?
The default keyboard navigation order must be logical and intuitive. The tab order should follow the visual flow of the page: left to right, top to bottom – header first, then main navigation, then page navigation (if present), and finally the footer.
What determines the tab order?
Control tab order is determined by the order in which controls are drawn on the screen. The first control that you draw is assigned a tab order of 1 , the next is given tab order number 2 , and so on.
How does tab navigation work?
On web pages, by default, tabbing navigates through form fields (such as text entry) and anchors (such as links) in the order they appear in the character stream (i.e., in the raw HTML). This can be overridden by the page author using the tabindex attribute, or by disabling a form field.
