Understanding the order Property in Flexbox
The order property in CSS controls the order in which flex items appear within a flex container, regardless of their source order in the HTML. By default, all flex items have an order value of 0, but you can assign positive or negative values to rearrange them.
order: <integer>;Default value is
0.
Items with lower
ordervalues appear first.Items with equal
ordervalues are displayed in the order they appear in the HTML.Changing the
ordervalue only affects visual order, not the document source order.
In this example, although Item 1 appears first in the HTML, it is displayed last because its order value is higher than the others.
Use
ordersparingly to avoid confusion between visual and source order.Avoid changing order for accessibility-critical elements (e.g., forms, navigation).
Prefer logical HTML ordering and use CSS for visual enhancements only.
