How do you mean have no control? For all I know the order in which place the
buttons in your HTML define the order in which they get shown, no?

Looking at, say, the component modification screen within Opera 9.5 on Windows
XP the order is: Cancel/Save. This is indeed different from the expected
order. One could argue that it breaks the principle of least astonishment for
web forms given the majority is used to forms where save/ok and such are left
and cancel is right.
