Flexbox & Grid

order

Utilities for controlling the order of flex and grid items.

| Class | Styles | | --- | --- | | order-<number> | order: <number>; | | -order-<number> | order: calc(<number> * -1); | | order-first | order: -9999; | | order-last | order: 9999; | | order-none | order: 0; | | order-(<custom-property>) | order: var(<custom-property>); | | order-[<value>] | order: <value>; |

Examples


Explicitly setting a sort order

Use order-<number> utilities like order-1 and order-3 to render flex and grid items in a different order than they appear in the document:

01

02

03

<div class="flex justify-between ...">  <div class="order-3 ...">01</div>  <div class="order-1 ...">02</div>  <div class="order-2 ...">03</div></div>

Ordering items first or last

Use the order-first and order-last utilities to render flex and grid items first or last:

01

02

03

<div class="flex justify-between ...">  <div class="order-last ...">01</div>  <div class="...">02</div>  <div class="order-first ...">03</div></div>

Using negative values

To use a negative order value, prefix the class name with a dash to convert it to a negative value:

<div class="-order-1">  <!-- ... --></div>

Using a custom value

Use the order-[<value>] syntax to set the order based on a completely custom value:

<div class="order-[min(var(--total-items),10)] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the order-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="order-(--my-order) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

This is just a shorthand for order-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Responsive design

Prefix an order utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="order-first md:order-last ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation .
