Please describe the problem:
Input of address information is difficult for two reasons. 1) TAB key
does not advance to next field when Address field is being input -- it
actually creates a TAB space, 2) order of fields not intuitive and does
not flow properly.

Current field order is:

1) City
2) Address (TAB key does not advance to field 3)
3) Zip/Postal Code
4) State/Provice
5) PO Box
6) Country.

TAB Key advances between all fields except from 2 to 3. However,
SHIFT-TAB works fine when going from 2 to 1.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Add NEW or Edit Contact
2. Click Mailing Address Tab
3. Try and enter address info as described above.


Actual results:
Field order not intuitive. TAB key does not advance past Address field,
though SHIFT TAB will advance backwards.


Expected results:
Two things. 1) TAB ley advances from Address Field as it does for other
fields. 2) Order of fields is changed to be more intuitive and make
input easier. For example:  (Current field numbers retained for this
example)

2) Address 
5) PO Box
1) City
4) State/Provice
3) Zip/Postal Code
6) Country.


Does this happen every time?
Yes, since at least 1.5.x
