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

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; } }

No idea as there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. You set it to -1 and by everything that I can see it should work. Although, admittedly I have, myself, only just learned flexbox so maybe there's something else in there that I'm just not catching.

commenting/subscribing to the thread so I can find out what's wrong though.

I just went through the code challenge, and I did see anything about adding flex values to the col and secondary classes. So, this is the code that worked for me: 

@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;
  }

  .secondary {
      order: -1;
  }
