field not calculating

My new Fillable Form will not properly calculate the totals.  I think it happened after the latest update.  Even the older Form does not work properly.    Subtotal, Tax and Total do not seem to calculate properly.  Can someone suggest something?

    You have wrong field calculation order:
    your current order:
    Total2
    Total3
    Total4
    Total
    Total5
    Percent
    Subtotal
    Total1

     

    and it should look like this:
    Total1
    Total2
    Total3
    Total4
    Total5
    Subtotal
    Percent
    Total

     

    To change field calculation order in old acrobat:
    Select 'Prepare form' tool, click 'More' then 'Set field calculation order'.

     

    In new Acrobat:
    Select 'Prepare form' tool, click on the 3 dots (the ones where say 'Fields') and select 'Set field calculation order'.

    I've moved his from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat forum so that proper help can be offered.
