Focus order

A logical focus order helps keyboard users operate our websites. Elements need to receive focus in an order that preserves meaning, therefore the focus order should make sense and not jump around randomly. In breadcrumb navigation, the focus order moves from left to right. In languages that are read right to left, the focus order also moves right to left.
