[IxDA Discuss] Back button in TAB order

In user testing we have conduced across seveal kinds of applications,
we consistently found that people expect an action like Submit,
Continue etc (kind forward moving) to the left and actions like cancel
towards the right.

I would assume same would be expectation from tab order, but have not
explicitly tested that.

Cheers
