    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Unfortunately it is not possible in model-driven apps to directly set the tab order of the individual fields. The workaround is to define your form tab columns and sections columns correctly to enable a natural flow of the tabbing.

     

    Feel free to submit that idea though at: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas

     

    There already a few ideas submitted please take a look: https://ideas.powerapps.com/d365community/search/f1458c72-ae29-ed11-9db2-000d3a8c451e?q=tab+order

     

    Hope this helps!

    @Anonymous as opposed to dragging them into the required position?

    I have the components in a 4 column group, but when I tab through the controls it goes Top/Down, Left/Right. I want it to go Left/Right, Top/Down.

    @Anonymous 

    Would it be acceptable to use multiple 4-column sections one after another?

    That's the only solution that I can think of.

    I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.
