I used to edit the order in the rsrc.py file manually (yuk!), but then 
somebody pointed out a while ago that the resource editor has a move 
forwards/backwards menu option that I think changes the tabbing order. 
Select the component you want to start with and move that to the front, 
then arrange the others so that they are "below" it in the tabbing order.

Somebody please jump in and correct me if I've got this a bit muddled up 
- I don't have PythonCard on this machine so I can't check this for a 
few days, and I've never had to re-arrange tabbing order since learning 
about this mechanism.
