When using Webflow's Quick Stack feature, you can ensure that the right cell stacks above the left cell by following these tips:

  1. Order your cells correctly: The order in which you add or arrange your cells in the Webflow Designer will determine how they stack. To make the right cell stack above the left cell, you need to place the right cell element after the left cell element in the DOM.

  2. Use Flexbox: Webflow relies on Flexbox to control the layout and stacking order of elements. By default, the flex-direction property is set to "row" for a horizontal layout. To stack the cells vertically, you can apply the flex-direction property value of "column" to the parent container.

  3. Utilize Flexbox's order property: The order property in Flexbox allows you to customize the stacking order of elements. By default, all elements have an order value of 0. To ensure the right cell stacks above the left cell, you can assign a higher order value to the right cell element. For example, you can set the left cell order to 0 and the right cell order to 1.

  4. Adjust media query breakpoints: If you have responsive design requirements, you may need to adjust the stacking order at different screen sizes. In Webflow, you can set media query breakpoints and modify the stacking order of cells accordingly. For example, you may want the left cell to stack above the right cell on smaller screens.

  5. Preview and test: After making changes to the stacking order, it's important to preview and test your design across different devices and screen sizes to ensure the desired stacking behavior is achieved.

By using these tips, you can control the stacking order of cells in Webflow's Quick Stack feature and ensure that the right cell stacks above the left cell for your desired layout.
