The order property is a sub-property of the Flexible Box Layout module.
Flex items are displayed in the same order as they appear in the source document by default. The order property can be used to change this ordering.
Syntax
order: <number>
.flex-item {
order: 2;
}Demo
The following demo shows how the default order (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) has been altered by setting the order property to each item.
