Focus Order Question

Oct 22, 2020

I might be overthinking this, but when working with a slides Focus Order --  after opening the pop-up window, is the first item presented via a screen reader at the top or the bottom of this listed focus order?

In my example, what is the learner presented first - 'my title' or 'Sports car racing down a highway'?

I completely agree with what Judy and others have pointed out about layers needing their own focus order. I have a project where I'm unable to prevent the user from clicking on the base layer because I want them to be able to click around the whole interaction and open and close multiple layers freely. It would be nice to have the screen reader stop when the base layer's focus order has all been read, then start again when the user clicks on each layer, which has it's own focus order to read through.
