Re: QuestionVisual button order versus announced buttonfocus order

If the submit is on the right side of the page and back and cancel are on the left then people using screen magnifiers or even browser magnification may have a problem finding the submit button.

Consider changing the design.

Place the three buttons on the left hand side of the page either sequentially in a row with submit first or stacked with submit being on the top.

Tab order should definitely start with submit since that is the action that you probably want people to make.
