I'm not sure if this should be changed. I think actions like "Apply changes", "Done", "OK" etc. should be the first in the tab order, even if we have a weird design that puts them in the top-right visually.

Does that mean this task and its patch should get declined?

I guess, unless someone disagrees with me.

Good news though, it looks like Wikimedia's next design for dialogs (https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/latest/components/demos/dialog.html) features buttons in a more traditional arrangement and order.
