What is wrong of my answer? I believed it's the right code for the secondary class to move it to beginning of the row.

Finally, let's reverse the column order by giving secondary the flexbox property and value that moves it to the beginning of the row.

my answer shows like this:

media (min-width: 611px) {

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.main-nav { display: flex; } .main-nav li { flex-grow: 1; } .content-row { display: flex; } .col { flex: 1; } .secondary { flex: 2; order: -1; } }

Hi Juner,

You look to have flex in your .secondary style. If you remove this you should be sorted. This is what I have:

@media (min-width: 611px) {

    /* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
  .main-nav, .content-row {display: flex;}

  .main-nav li {flex-grow: 1;}

  .secondary {order: -1;}

}

Here's the info on Flexbox from CSS Tricks.
