Drop tabindex altogether. It's just not useful.

Tabindex is not a substitute for poorly organized documents, and at the
end of the day, it's up to the UA to give the user final say on tab order.

3) The "tab order" should be up to the user. In Opera you can
navigate in any direction you want using e.g. Shift+arrows, allowing
you to freely navigate in tables for instance. The author shouldn't
have any say about the tab order other than the source order.
That holds true for Opera on desktop. Keep in mind that there are
devices without useful 4-way navigation, such as the Sony Ericsson
M600i, where your only means of (keyboard) navigation is through the
scroll wheel on the side of the device.
