harvesting field properties in visual order

my apologies in advance; suspect not acrobat question "how write javascript?" question.

 

i have been trying write script collect tooltips translation, multipage acrobat form. however, pretty terrible scripter - more copy/pasting forums actual writing of code. using getnthfieldname return of tooltips (username) console, able successfully. however, returns them in alphabetical order according name of field. not useful me; spit out tooltips in other order. because of way translator works here, spit them out console in visual top-down, left-right order. research indicates there no published description of way alter way getnthfieldname returns values.

 

how this? i'm kind of @ loss. suspect kind of for loop using getfield , returning values array work, i'm not sure how use getfield to fields. of examples i've found use getfield("this field unique name in document");

 

this not simple task, it's doable. approach indeed create array field objects directly, or field names (using getnthfieldname) , sort array using custom sort function. see: javascript array sort() method

once array sorted can iterate on using for-loop , print out username property each field, did before.
