How can I use Webflow to dynamically adjust the column numbers and content order based on different devices and views?

Webflow allows you to dynamically adjust the number of columns and content order based on different devices using Grid, Flexbox, and Collection List settings. Here’s how you can achieve this:

1. Use CSS Grid for Dynamic Column Changes

• Select the parent container of your elements and set the Display to Grid.
• Under Grid settings, adjust the number of columns for each breakpoint (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile).
• Use Auto-fit or Auto-fill in column settings to make the grid responsive.
• Set Min/Max values to allow columns to adapt based on available space.

2. Use Flexbox for Content Reordering

• Select the container and set the Display to Flex with the appropriate direction (Column or Row).
• Enable Wrap Children so items naturally adjust when the screen size changes.
• To reorder items on smaller screens, change the order property of individual elements under the Style panel > Layout > Order.

3. Adjust Collection List Layout on Different Devices

• When using a Collection List, set its Display to Grid or Flexbox.
• Adjust Column Count manually for each viewport inside the Collection List Wrapper settings.
• Change Grid row-start and column-start settings if specific items need to move positions across breakpoints.

4. Use Visibility Settings for Alternative Layouts

• Instead of reordering, create alternative layouts for different breakpoints and set Visibility conditions.
• Use the Responsive Visibility settings in the Style panel > Display settings to show/hide elements accordingly.

Summary

To dynamically control column numbers and content order, use CSS Grid for responsive columns, Flexbox for reordering items, and adjust Collection Lists per breakpoint. Alternatively, you can create alternative layouts and toggle their visibility based on device size.
