Re: Question about SC 2.4.3 Focus Order

+1 in principle -  but there are cases where I think a deviation from the exact order when reversing would be ok. Reverse order should be meaningful, not necessarily identical. I am thinking of cases where you traverse a menu which opens submenus as you tab through it, but tabbing backwards runs straight through main menu items. I would not FAIL such behaviour.
