Adobe Pro - field actions - not tabbing to the next field as it should

There are no other help sections that discuss why a field would not automatically jump to the next field for entry. The options set on other fields is Mouse Up and then Execute a Menu item. Every other field is set the same way and they jump to the next field. Then you have two fields that do not work, skips right over them to another field. Action Tab does not supply a 'Continue' or other options other than Mouse Up, Down, etc.

You can manually adjust the tab order in Prepare Form mode, if you sort the field names by it.

OMGosh, that was too easy! Thank you so much never thought to use that and slide up. Very much appreciate you!

What type of fields? What menu item are you executing? Do the fields have the same name?

One is a Rating field and the other is a comment field, there are several of these within the pdf but none are named the same, each one has its own name, i.e., Rating, Rating1, Rating2 etc. Other than two of the fields every other one tabs to the next part to be completed. The PDF start with two fields that tab correctly, when you are finished with the second field it should tab over to the Rating Field, but jumps way down the document to a comment field, skips over at least 4 fields that need to be completed.
