Grid Item Order

Grid item order changes visual position without touching the HTML. It separates content order from display order.


Set the Visual Order of the Grid Items

The CSS order property can be used to define the visual order of the grid items.

The first grid item in the HTML source code does not have to appear as the first item in the grid container.

Example

  .item1 {order: 3;}
.item2 {order: 6;}
.item3 {order: 1;}
.item4
  {order: 2;}
.item5 {order: 4;}
.item6 {order: 5;}

Note: Accessibility note: The order property provides visual reordering, but it does not change the logical order of elements in the DOM. This will affect users navigating the site with assistive technologies like screen readers, as the content will be read in a different order than it is visually presented.
