Why is tab order incorrect in browser but correct in Acrobat and Adobe Reader?

New Here ,

I created a fillable form and set the tab order to by row.  This works correctly in Acrobat and in Adobe Reader but when I upload it to my website, all browsers use a different tab order.  I set the language as English.  It sort of behaves RTL in the browser, but is also somewhat random.  I have created many forms in the past and never had this happen before.  This form did start as a Word document which I used the Form creator to import.  Any ideas on how to force it to use the correct tab order?  Thanks.

Many (almost all) browsers use their own internal PDF plugin by default. These plugins are known to have many bugs, and this is probably just another one. Report the issue to the makers of this plugin.

Yes thank you.  It turns out it happens only on Chrome, but we have a lot of people using that.

Use Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.

Set the order to manual and arrange the tab order to what you want. This works for me in Chrome.
