What is wrong with this code?

I do not understand what is wrong with this code, it is the last objective of the flexbox lay out challenge.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Flexbox</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main-wrapper">
        <header class="main-header">
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li class="main-logo"><h1><a href="#">My Work</a></h1></li>
                <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coding</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Writing</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Hire Me!</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>
        <div class="content-row">
            <div class="primary col">
                <h1>I'm a Designer</h1>
                <p>I design beautiful user interfaces, then bring them to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love including personal photographs of nature, people and everyday things in my designs.</p>
                <p>If you need a front-end designer for your next project, <a href="#">take a look at my work</a>, then <a href="#">get in touch</a>!</p>
            </div>
            <div class="secondary col">
                <h2>I Also Write</h2>
                <p>I like teaching others about the latest web in technology. So when I'm not designing or coding websites &amp; apps, you'll find me writing <a href="#">articles for my blog</a>.</p>

Hey Jaime!

Remove the display property from .secondary and change the order property to -1. Because the original value of order is 0, the secondary column has to have a lesser numerical value in order to be put in front.

Hope that helps!

It solved it, I guess it is redundant to add the display property to the secondary class.
