Doesn't it create confusion if you have the columns ordered one way in the HTML, but then rearrange them with a property in the CSS?

10,085 PointsFor me, the benefit is to be able to rearrange it from mobile to larger desktops. Like on mobile you may want the column with the picture in it to display first but on a larger screen you would probably want that column in the middle. So you write the HTML for mobile first and then in larger screens use the order property to change the first column to be displayed second. Hope that helps!
