How to set Tab order manually in Adobe Acrobat DC

Question

Hello Friends,Can any anyone provide solution for setting the tab orders for any files/form fields in Adobe Acrobat Dc,The Adobe Acrobat DC has the function to set the tab order manually - but it is only by drag and drop fields, which is not correct.Adobe 5 and adobe 9 writer versions had it correct without dragging fields to set the tab orders.Is there any functionality same like adobe 5 and 9 which eases the Tab order setting?Waiting for the suggestions.Thanks,Sumitha[Moved out of the Forum comments forum (which is for issues with these forums themselves) and into a product-specific, support forum - moderator]

With Acrobat 9 you still have to drag a field in the list. I still keep Acrobat 7 available and use it when I need to speed up the process. Acrobat 11 and DC at least allow you to drag multiple fields at once, but there's a bug that results in the wrong order being set. I haven't checked to see if they've fixed it with an update.
