Select and move multiple Items in Tab order
Hello :)
While working on screen reader compatible courses, arranging multiple elements on a screen in the tab order seems tedious, specially while sorting multiple elements of related content.
E.g., Button 1 on screen > brings up layer 1 (which has some 4 elements - title, text box, image, close button). In total, there are 5 elements to be sorted in the tab order.
If the number of buttons on screen is more (10), then the sorting becomes tedious with each click (10*5=50).
Can you suggest if there an option to select the all the related/multiple elements in tab order (in this case button 1) and move them together?

Glad to see this feature has been added, but I can't figure out how to do it! I tried holding the shift key to select a range and also holding the control key to select certain items, but neither works. What's the trick?
Hi, Sarah.
Thank you for reaching out!
Here are the steps:
- Select Create a custom focus order.
- Select the first item, hold down the Shift key, then select the last item you'd like to select.
- If the items are not next to each other, use the Ctrl key to select multiple ones.
- Use the arrows (on the bottom right of the window) to move them Up/Down

I hope this helps!
Well, I had a video all ready to send to you, but decided to check that I had the latest version installed. I didn't, so I installed that and now it is working! False alarm!
So glad to hear that installing did the trick, Sarah! Happy developing! 🥳
