Hey Omar,

My apologies. I have deleted my original post as it was in error.

The order does matter for Background, I was thinking of the shorthand for Borders. Also for Background, you can omit some values (as the default will just be assigned). Have a look at here for a basic explanation.

Thanks a lot!

I think the order does matter, however I'm not sure (I don't use CSS like every day)
