>>Form.Tabindex is ignored if it's not part of Formset. IMO, the way to know the order by sure is keeping some array of form names. When a form comes up, it jumps from line and pushes previosly activeform to the bottom of stack, so this behaviour can be stored in array.

I remember that I did some checking at that point and found that _screen.forms() not always follows to stack, so I used some array too. Maybe, it was just bad day?
