Just chiming in with one data-point: in Gecko/Firefox, this is actually how reordered flex items currently work (and that's a bug, according to the current Flexbox spec). This is tracked here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812687 which I filed & have been meaning to get to, but haven't yet. If this proposal is adopted, then it sounds like Firefox's currently-classified-as-buggy tabindex/order behavior will become correct. I don't know how likely that is, though, because it's late in the game for the flexbox spec (and I'm missing context on the background-discussion/proposal). ~Daniel
