ScriptUI - how to go to the first control from anywhere

Question

There is a TAB order - by default the order of creation of controls. I run into some questions here:

I do not find a property to explicitly define the tab order. → How to?
When amidst an assembly of controls and i want to got to the first one (tab index = 0), it seems that I have the option to back-TAB as often as nescessary - HOME does not work at all. → Any other ideas?

Thank You for any insight.

Peter Kahrel from the InDesign forum gave this answer:You can't change the tab order in ScriptUI. It is the order of the controls in the code.Most controls have the property .active. You can use that as the window's entry point, so to speak.The tab key is the only one available to navigate a window.

I've seen ScriptUI in some of the code examples on this forum, but am not very familiar with what it does and why someone writing a script would want to use it.  Is there a good tutorial on ScriptUI that I can use to get smarter, or a couple of simple examples of how they work.
