Define Tab Order

Define Tab Order

I would like the ability to define the tab order when editing or creating a new record.

The only option now is for tab to go from left to right to left to right all of the way down the page. I would like to define the exact order the cursor will move from field to field.

At the minimum, for a two column layout, I would like to tab down the left column and then down the right column. This actually does happen in the Contact record when you get to the mailing address section so I know it can be coded that way.

Anyway, at least enable me to select..

1) left column to right column to left column to right column, etc.

OR

2) Down left column and then down right column

If I could choose between these two, that would be great.
