Inconsistent button order - Submit / Preview / Cancel

Description

When editing a Wiki, we are presented with:
[ Save Changes ] [ Preview ] [ Cancel ]

When adding a comment to a ticket:
[ Reset ] [ Preview ] [ Submit Changes ]

When editing a milestone:
[ Save Changes ] [ Cancel ]

The order of these almost identical buttons should be consistent, whenever they occur in Trac. Furthermore, the labels used should also be consistent. For all these 3 cases, I would suggest:

[ Preview ] [ Save Changes ] [ Cancel ]

The milestone buttons are actually consistent with the wiki editing buttons, it just doesn't provide a preview function.

Otherwise I'd agree. The only question is whether [ Preview ] should really be first, because that automatically becomes the default action (which may very well be a good thing, but I'm not sure).

Sorry for the dupe. I think "Preview" should be the default action, therefore should be on the right side.

In HTML forms, the default action is always the left-most button.
