Can't adjust tab order on linked form fields

Hi, I've got a few text form fields that I have linked to fields on a previous page so that clients don't have to type and retype the same information.  Unfortunately, the fields on the first page are in a different tab order than the fields on the later page.  When I try to change the tab order manually on the later page, it either won't let me (either as a group or individually), or it changes it back to the original order.  I thought perhaps this was because I copied and pasted them all together as a group, but the same thing occured when I tried to copy & paste them individually to the later page.

 

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter that they are copies. Each one of those fields has its own tab order index. Open the Fields List panel and click on Tab Order and make sure that the Order Tabs Manually option is selected. Also, look under Edit - Preferences - Forms and make sure that "Automatically adjust tab order when modifying fields" is NOT ticked.
