If you are using Swing and you don't like the default tabbing order, you can change the tabbing order of JComponents with the "setNextFocusableComponent" method.

for example :

JTextField textFields[] = new JTextField[6];
...
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  textFields[i].setNextFocusableComponent(textFields[i+1]);
}
... 
textField[5].setNextFocusableComponent(buttonA);
buttonA.setNextFocusableComponent(buttonB);
buttonB.setNextFocusableComponent(buttonC);
...
