Order

The order class sets the order property. It controls the visual order of items within a flex container. By default, flex items follow the order in which they appear in the HTML. The order property can change their position without modifying the HTML structure. Using the order property changes the visual order of flex items without altering their order in the HTML. If the visual and reading orders don't match, it can cause confusion for people who use keyboard navigation or screenreaders.
