Created fillable form to be accessed from website and or downloaded. When first using form and tapping Tab key to get started filling, the Tab order is changed to random. This happened from the time the form was checked and confirmed working as planned, then saved and uploaded to website. The form Tabs work in order if downloaded to a computer first then opened. Need to have the ability to fill in the form when opened from the site and print as needed. To make it easier the Tab order has to be in order from the top down, not random all over the place when you tab to the next feild.

 

Thank You,

Regards, Kevin

This option drove me crazy before I discovered it:

Sorry for the late reply. I found an answer but not a real solution to my issue.

It was the Adobe browser extension in both Edge and Chrome. Turned it off and down loaded the form first and it's fine. For some reason Adobe extensions rearrange the form fields in random order. This of course doesn't help anyone that tries to fill the form in on the browser first. I don't use other browsers so can't verify if its just Edge and Chrome.
