I'd like to request a Tab Order be added to FluentForms, we need ability to control and set field tab order for users

FluentForms is an excellent form builder however, currently during or after building a form there's no efficient means of knowing what field will be accessed while a user is filling in a form. I've had the less than fun experience of having to rename and move more than half of my form Fields and Elements around on a 5 page form. I really think this would be a valuable feature that all current and future FluentForm builders and user will benefit from and appreciate.

What do you mean tab order? Tab order is set in the order in which they appear in the HTML. So if you have a 2 column, all the fields in column 1 will be tabbed first, followed by all the fields in column 2.

This is standard browser functionality and how people expect it to work. I recommend a 2 column with a single field in each if you want them to be ordered left, right, left, right etc.

Changing the tab order is bad for accesibility and adds extra complexity.

Interesting, I see what you mean if you build a relatively small form and don't need to delete or move any fields around or make significant changes to the Form on request. However I just built a Multi page form currently 6 pages, for a client and unfortunately found during some testing that having the ability to control the "Tab Order" will be a very helpful time saving feature to have. Note: To meet the client's needs to mimic their current paper form format, building a multi page form filled with just two columns through out the form will not work, it will double or triple the page count. Thanks for the input.
