We teach this in our 508 + InDesign classes:
How to control the tag RO, the architectural/construction RO (aka, the
"Order" tree), and info graphics.

With planning, design, and knowledge, they can be fully accessible and
correct in most documents, and at the least, need only minor remediation in
Acrobat.

Subject: [WebAIM] Z-Order manipulation

Does anyone have tips for:

1. Are there things that can be done in the design phase in Illustrator and
InDesign to help fix z-order when exported to PDF?

2. Does anyone have tips for highly designed infographics with regard to
matching z-order to the tag tree?

This seems to be a task that many of our clients are asking for. As many of
you know it is very tedious. Any help or additional information would be
appreciated.
