Order columns through Bootstrap4

I have 3 columns which I want to order in different ways on desktop and mobile. Currently, my gird looks like this:

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-6">
    1
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-6">
    2
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-6 col-md-12">
    3
  </div>
</div>

In the mobile view I want to have the following output:

1-3-2

Unfortunately I don't get how to solve this with the .col-md-push-* and .col-md-pull-* classes in Bootstrap 4.

Solution 1:

2021 - Bootstrap 5

The responsive ordering classes are now order-first, order-last and order-0 - order-5

Demo

2018 - Bootstrap 4

The responsive ordering classes are now order-first, order-last and order-0 - order-12

Bootstrap 4.1+

Since Bootstrap 4 is flexbox, it's easy to change the order of columns. The cols can be ordered from order-1 to order-12, responsively such as order-md-12 order-2 (last on md, 2nd on xs) relative to the parent .row.

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-3 col-md-6">
            <div class="card card-body">1</div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-6 col-md-12 order-2 order-md-12">
            <div class="card card-body">3</div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-3 col-md-6 order-3">
            <div class="card card-body">2</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Desktop (larger screens):

Mobile (smaller screens):

It's also possible to change column order using the flexbox direction utils...

<div class="container">
    <div class="row flex-column-reverse flex-md-row">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            2
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-4">
            1st on mobile
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Solution 2:

This can also be achieved with the CSS "Order" property and a media query.

Something like this:

@media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
    #first {
        order: 2;
    }
    #second {
        order: 4;
    }
    #third {
        order: 1;
    }
    #fourth {
        order: 3;
    }
}

Solution 3:

even this will work:

<div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-4 col-sm-4 col-md-6 order-1">
                    1
                </div>
                <div class="col-4 col-sm-4  col-md-6 order-3">
                    2
                </div>
                <div class="col-4 col-sm-4  col-md-12 order-2">
                    3
                </div>
            </div>
          </div>

Solution 4:

I'm using Bootstrap 3, so i don't know if there is an easier way to do it Bootstrap 4 but this css should work for you:

.pull-right-xs {
    float: right;
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
   .pull-right-xs {
      float: left;
   }
}

...and add class to second column:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-6">
        1
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-3 col-md-6 pull-right-xs">
        2
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6 col-md-12">
        3
    </div>
</div>

EDIT:

Ohh... it looks like what i was writen above is exacly a .pull-xs-right class in Bootstrap 4 :X Just add it to second column and it should work perfectly.
