Scope
Asana Ticket: ♿ Update focus order for search bar on homepage, stops summary, retail sales location tool
Implementation
Added some JS to rearrange the items in the search bar to reflect the way they are arranged visually. We use CSS to rearrange things, but that doesn't affect tab order. This updates the HTML so that tab order behaves as expected.
Fun fact: appendChild() will not create duplicates, it will move the element instead
Screenshots

How to test
Check the autocomplete tab order in the main header and on the following pages, ensure it aligns with the visuals:
Compare and contrast with dev/prod where the search icon is focused first among the autocomplete elements despite being last in the layout.
