Yes, you can rearrange the order of div elements on your webpage using jQuery in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Include jQuery library: Make sure you have included the jQuery library in your Webflow project. You can do this by adding the following code just before the closing </body> tag in your project's custom code section:

    ```html

    ```

    This will include the latest version of jQuery from the Google CDN.

  2. Identify the elements: First, you need to identify the div elements you want to rearrange. Give each of them a unique class or ID attribute, which will be used to target them using jQuery.

  3. Write the jQuery code: Now, you can write the jQuery code to rearrange the div elements. Here's an example that demonstrates how to swap the positions of two div elements with the class names "div1" and "div2":

    ```javascript
    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('.div1').insertBefore('.div2');
    });
    ```

    In this example, we use the insertBefore() method to move the div with the "div1" class before the div with the "div2" class.

  4. Apply the jQuery code: Once you have written the jQuery code, you need to apply it to your div elements. There are two ways to do this:

    a. Place the jQuery code in the "Before " section of the page settings: Go to the page settings of the page where you want to rearrange the div elements. Scroll down to the "Custom Code" section, and paste the jQuery code in the "Before " field. This will apply the code to that specific page.

    b. Place the jQuery code in the custom code section of your Webflow project: Go to your Webflow project settings, and click on the "Custom Code" tab. Scroll down to the "Footer Code" section, and paste the jQuery code in the "Inside tag" field. This will apply the code to all pages in your project.

That's it! Your div elements should now be rearranged according to the jQuery code you wrote.
