A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
toFront() and toBack() do not work to reorder a tab in a tab pane. In the Qt Framework the equivalent functions are raise() and lower() respectively. The toFront() in JavaFX either brings a stage to the front, or a control in to the top in the z-order of a layout. In Qt it can be used to also change the collection/layout order of the children. If raise() is called on QDockWidget or a QTab in Qt they will be brought to the top. In JavaFX, calling toFront() on a Tab has no effect.

JUSTIFICATION :
toFront() already brings Node's to the front with layouts such as BorderPane, but not with other containers like TabPane.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
toFront() called on a tab should bring it to the front of the TabPane() and make it the selected tab.
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The work around is to get the parent of the tab and then ask its selection model to the select the tab.
