Does the cPanel dashboard maintain logical tab order across the tool grid?

The cPanel administrative interface utilizes a dense grid of icons and labels to categorize server management tools. To reduce cognitive load, administrators often use the Feature Manager to hide unused tools, which dynamically alters the layout of the remaining elements.
When navigating via keyboard, the focus order must follow a predictable sequence to ensure accessibility for users relying on screen readers or assistive technology. There is uncertainty regarding whether the focus flow remains linear and logical when custom feature sets are enabled or when the responsive design collapses the grid for smaller viewports.
What is the documented behavior for keyboard navigation focus when the dashboard grid is modified via the Feature Manager? Does the tab order consistently follow the visual layout of the icons?
