javafx borderpane - how to change tab traversal order?

Question

In javafx BorderPane the tab traversal order is defined by the order of the children.

The problem is I have some Stage inheritance with a BorderPane on the base class, and BorderPane.setBottom() is called first.

This screws the tab order, since the bottom child is the first item on the children list.

I want to make the tab traversal on the BorderPane to be:

How could I archieve this?

This makes more sense than the set (setTop, setCenter, ...) order.

It seems it can't be done.

The solution was to add AnchorPanes inside the BorderPane areas and calling setTop, setCenter, ... in the desired tab traversal order.
