Tab and accordion order

for

From: Brian Lovely

I occasionally see tabs or accordions where the content precedes the tabs
or buttons controlling it. I see this as a violation of 1.3.2 Finding Added
Content, in addition to seeming less logical than the controlled content
being the next thing in focus order from the control.

My question to non-visual screen reader users is do you find "reversed" tab
or accordion order problematic? Most of the time when I am describing the
human impact of a WCAG violation, I feel pretty confident that there is a
clear impediment to use, but with this one, I feel less confident.
