It's true - if you pre-select the cells then Tab will move among the cells
in the order you selected them. And if you assign a name and then select
via the name, Tab moves in the order the cells appear in the name
definition. That's a good workaround.

|
| Define a range MyTabOrder
| In RefersTo box put:
| =Sheet1!$C$1,Sheet1!$D$10,Sheet1!$F$11,Sheet1!$G$1 0
| When you want to invoke it, pull down the ranged name box and select it;
| it's made active.
