My limited observation indicates that it's the order the fields appear in
xxx.fd i.e. the order they are added to the form in create_form_xxx. xxx.fd
can be edited to rearrange the order.
One way to do this in fdesign would be to have an "order" field which
contained an integer specifying the object tab position. Although preset by
design it could be changed through the GUI. fdesign would have to sort the
objects according to this number when emiting the code.
