Set Docked panel (and segment) order to the tab order

[#1]

Given that the only way to create collapsible field groups is by docking panels to the same edge of their container (see our review with examples >here<), we desperately need a simple way to reorder these panels. At present the only way is to use the 'send to back' and 'send to front' commands. This is awkward, time consuming (for large forms) and prone to error.

The most obvious way, I would think, is to use the Tab Order. This is very easily changed on a field by field basis. If applied properly, it would also ensure the overall field tab order would flow properly from panel to panel.

Agreed.  Re-ordering panels is way too cumbersome at the moment.  I have raised this issue already with Rob & team.

I completely agree that send to back isn't the best approach would love something better.

In the meantime however ensuring a few things I no longer have a painful / error prone experience using panels.

1) Ensure every field on the form is linked to a panel, the easiest way to confirm this is using the inventory, expand the form in questions, expand the fields on that form and you should only see panels.

2) Start with send to back with the panel you want to appear at the bottom of the page and work you way through them in order from bottom to top.

Yes this approach you reorder every panel, but I get a good result every time.
