Wrong reading order in Narrator

Question

Dear all,

I've got a problem with Microsoft Narrator.

I've got a WPF fragment like this:

<Window
    x:Class="InlineEditbox.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Narrator test" SizeToContent="WidthAndHeight">
    <TextBlock>
        <Run xml:space="preserve">I want to pay </Run>
        <InlineUIContainer>
            <TextBox Width="70" HorizontalContentAlignment="Right">0</TextBox>
        </InlineUIContainer>
        <Run xml:space="preserve"> % more</Run>
    </TextBlock>
</Window>

The text is displayed correctly; however the Narrator reads it this way: "I want to pay percent more, zero" instead of the expected "I want to pay 0 percent more".

Am I doing something wrong? The Narrator could have read the whole text just consequently. Is there a way to work around the problem without the need to change the actual text?

Don't use narrator, it's an extremely basic screen reading program and is not generally used by people who need to use a screen reader on a daily basis.
