Option button's properties in Basic IDE

Insert Controls help page [1] tells:

> Option Button
> 
> Adds a button that allows a user to select from a number of options. Grouped
> option buttons must have consecutive tab indices. They are commonly encircled
> by a group box. If you have two groups of option buttons, you must insert a tab
> index between the tab indices of the two groups on the group frame.

The term "index" is not used in the option button's property, which is called
"Tab Order" (see screenshot).

This results in confusion, including those who translate (see resp. Russian
translation), as well as users who are not very fluent in English [2] (Rus).
The confusion in this case is aggravated by the curious detail that the two
similar cases - option buttons in Basic dialogs and in forms - behave
differently in this regard (the latter does not use tab order to group the
controls, but uses name [3]; and having group name in Basic makes users expect
same behavior); that makes this issue especially problematic.

The help text should use terms used in the respective UI strings.
