Bootstrap change order of columns

Bootstrap 5 (update 2021)

Since flexbox is still used in Bootstrap 5, changing the order of columns works in the same way. However the order-6 to order-12 have been dropped. These classes are now available for re-ordering in Bootstrap 5..

  • order-{breakpoint}-first
  • order-{breakpoint}-last
  • order-{breakpoint}-0
  • order-{breakpoint}-1
  • order-{breakpoint}-2
  • order-{breakpoint}-3
  • order-{breakpoint}-4
  • order-{breakpoint}-5

The possible {breakpoint} values are none(for xs), sm, md, lg, xl or xxl

Bootstrap 5 order examples


Bootstrap 4 (update 2018)

There’s no need for extra CSS. Use the flexbox ordering utils

Demo: https://codeply.com/go/nEpPysXuNe

<div class="contents">
  <div class="row row-1">
    <div class="col-sm-6">Content Left</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6">Content Right</div>
  </div>
  <div class="row row-2">
    <div class="col-sm-6">Content Right</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 order-first">Content Left</div>
  </div>
  <div class="row row-3">
    <div class="col-sm-6">Content Left</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6">Content Right</div>
  </div>
  <div class="row row-4">
    <div class="col-sm-6">Content Right</div>
    <div class="col-sm-6 order-first">Content Left</div>
  </div>
</div>

The ordering class are now order-first, order-1, order-2, etc…

Another method is using the flexbox direction utils

<div class="row flex-row-reverse flex-md-row">
    <div class="col-6">A</div>
    <div class="col-6">B</div>
</div>
