Add X where X is a arbitary value greater than or equal to the number of
elements that are in your form that don't have tabindexes to the tabindex
value in the read attribute call.
Then, keep a variable, initialized to 0 before the call, that is going to be
the 'fake' tabindex for the elements that don't have one.
This will ensure the elements are sorted by the order they're returned by
the getElement call when they don't have a tab index.
I can't guaruntee this will be document order though.
Code sample below.
var fakeTabIndex = 0;
var tabIndexOffset = 100;
$('my_form').getElements().sortBy(function(element) {
return parseInt(element.readAttribute('tabindex')+tabIndexOffset ||
(fakeTabIndex++));
}).each(function(element) {
// do something
});
