Original description

<b>What steps will reproduce the problem?</b>
1. if you defined a form validation the validate() function will always validate all fields
2. if you change the class=&quot;&quot; of the fields that are invalid then all invalid fields classes are changed at once 

<b>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?</b>
a new function &quot;validateUntilFirstError&quot; in com.pietschy.gwt.pectin.client.form.validation/FormValidator.java that validates the fields in the right order and stops at the first error

<b>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?</b>
0.8

<b>Please provide any additional information below.</b>
can be solved by adding a sorted list of validators:
private ArrayList<HasValidation> sortedFieldValidators = new ArrayList<HasValidation>();
Instead o iterate over all validators in no specific order like in validate:
for (HasValidation validator : fieldValidators.values())
you could iterate over the sorted validators and stop when error occurs:
for (HasValidation validator : sortedFieldValidators)
