Advanced features for cds-layout

[mcosta74]

HI all,

I started to play with cds-layout and it's super-cool.
I'd like to ask if there're plans to introduce 2 features (available in pure flex layouts):

• reverse layout (very useful in case of RTL support)
• item order (useful in case of responsive design)

If I could give a priority I'd say the first one is more important but ... I'm just asking if there're plans.

Does it make sense to open a Feature Request r this is going to be refused?

Thanks a lot for your JOB

Just found that there's order:reverse property for cds-layout and .... it's what I meant. It's just not documented yet

Here an example

@mcosta74 - I've accepted your answer for the reverse layout part of the question. Thanks for the follow-up.

Wrt - item order ... I'm not sure if we will be able to add it. There are accessibility issues when changing only the visual order of items.

Ok, thanks for the reply

The reverse util should be used with caution as for the a11y reasons @hippee-lee pointed out. Its primary use case is to help with RTL lang support. Outside of that I would be careful that changing order does not break a11y.
