how focus travel in javafx?

I have a javafx stage like this enter image description here

As normal, I expect when user enter text and press tab key, it will focus to next text field for input. But my case is: when I enter FullName and press tab it will focus on Email field then Username, Password, Confirm Password.

What is wrong here?

Thanks!

If you "move" the focus, it will go to the next child with focusTraversable set to true.

Since the order of the children is not important for their placement in GridPane, this can lead to a focus traversal order, that is independent from Node placement in the layout.

In your screenshot you can see that the TextField in cell (1, 5) is added before the TextField in cell (1,2). To fix this, simply reorder the (focus traversable) children of the GridPane ascending by row index using the Hierarchy View.
