Russ,

Suddenly I remember  someone in  this list  mentioned  that layer affects
tab order. Just now I played with layer a little bit and found out it works
great. suppose you have text field A, text field B, text field C and layer 1
(top), layer 2 (middle), layer 3 (bottom) and if you need tab order of
B->A->C, you could simply put B on layer 3, A on layer 2, and C on layer 1.
The lower layers get higher tab priority.

Please report back :)
