What is the order for tabindex in HTML?

Question

Like title says, what is the order for the tabindex attribute in html?

Answer

Code example:

<input tabindex="3">
<input tabindex="0">
<input tabindex="-1">
<input>
<input tabindex="2">
<input tabindex="1">
<span tabindex="4"> This wouldn't normally receive focus</span>

Order:

(3) Will receive focus third
(0) In normal source order
(-1) Will not receive focus
(n/a) In normal source order
(2) Will receive focus second
(1) Will receive focus first

<span tabindex="4">This wouldn't normally receive focus</span> has (4) largest value. Next tab will give focus to the rest of tabnavigable elements in code source order.
