When tabbing between boxes, it goes in a completely illogical order (as far as how they are labeled and how they SHOULD be tabbed betweened)

is there any way I can change this behavior ?

in interface builder control click and drag from one text box to another and set it too the nextKeyView outlet.
You can do the same in code, in awakeFromNib, or at other times.

m'k, I just tried this, and it didn't change a thing in my application. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
