Steps to Reproduce
- Open the myColorado support request form on iOS and Android devices.

- Activate it using the Enter or Space key.
- Navigate to the drop-down options.
- Observe that focus moves to the last option inappropriately.

Actual Results
When the "What can we help you with?” combobox is activated, keyboard focus jumps to the last item "Accessibility Support" (which is visually second last options), then to the last option "Provide mDL Reader Feedback", and only after that it moves to the first option. From there it follows the visible order.
This could disorient keyboard-only users and users with mobility disabilities as the focus order does not follow the expected visual order.
Expected Results
Ensure that options are rendered in the DOM following the same visual sequence. When the combobox is activated, set the initial focus index to the first option (i.e. Compliant). Implement ARIA roles and comprehensive keyboard event handling to enhance accessibility and user interaction.
