box-direction

See Flexbox for more information.

Summary

The CSS box-direction property specifies whether a box lays out its contents normally (from the top or left edge), or in reverse (from the bottom or right edge). See Flexbox for more about the properties of flexbox elements.

Syntax

normal | reverse | inherit

Values

normal

The box lays out its contents from the start (the left or top edge).

reverse

The box lays out its contents from the end (the right or bottom edge).

Examples

.example {
  /* bottom-to-top layout */
  box-direction: reverse;           /* As specified */
  -moz-box-direction: reverse;      /* Mozilla */
  -webkit-box-direction: reverse;   /* WebKit */
}

Notes

The edge of the box designated the start for layout purposes depends on the box's orientation:

The edge opposite to the start is designated the end.

If the direction is set using the element's dir attribute, then the style is ignored.
