But I don't think which select box is landed on first should be decided
simply by the creator or just for screen reader users. Persons with low
vision, physical (keyboard users) and/or cognitive disabilities need to
be addressed also. I would say that the standards should decide which
select box is to be highlighted first. Logical reading order and focus
order should be kept in mind. If there is an option that you want to be
first, then ensure it is listed first on the form/page.
