To rearrange your collection list in Webflow to read from left to right on both mobile and desktop, you can use a combination of Flexbox and Grid layout to achieve the desired layout.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select your collection list element on the canvas by clicking on it.

  2. In the Styles panel on the right-hand side, change the display property to Flex.

  3. Once the collection list is set to display as flex container, you can control the order and arrangement of the collection items using the Order property. By default, all items will have an order of 0.

  4. To change the order, you can adjust the Order property for each collection item individually. Items with a lower order value will appear before items with a higher order value. For example, to make the first item appear last, set its order value to a higher number (e.g., 1) compared to other items in the collection list.

  5. To create a responsive layout for mobile and desktop, you can leverage Grid layout as well. Select the parent container of the collection list (e.g., a section or div block) and set its display property to Grid.

  6. With the parent container set to display as a grid, you can now control the arrangement of items on different screen sizes using media queries in the Styles panel. Create a media query for the desired breakpoint (e.g., one for mobile and one for desktop).

  7. In each media query, specify the grid layout properties such as grid-template-columns to define the column arrangement. For example, you can set it to 1fr 1fr to display the items in a two-column layout for both mobile and desktop.

By using a combination of Flexbox and Grid layout, you can easily rearrange your collection list to read from left to right on mobile and desktop devices. Remember to preview and test your layout on different devices to ensure it appears as intended.
