For as long as I can recall, Visual Studio has had an integrate dialog that allows you to easily organize the tab order of your controls.
I\'ve just created my first VS
I found this to be very useful http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/csz6b8x8.aspx
It allows you to simply click on the various controls in the order that you want them to tab through. You do this while you are in the "Show tab order" mode as described above; the tip from Elton about adding the icon to a toolbar makes it easy to toggle the mode.
Ctrl-doubleclick the first control, then click subsequent controls, and press Enter to terminate. You can also start on the Nth control if you Ctrl-click the one before it, then click in order as normal.
