How can I change the order of my grid layout in Webflow for mobile viewing?

TL;DR
  • Switch to the desired mobile breakpoint in Webflow Designer.
  • Select the grid container, click "Edit Grid," and drag items to rearrange their order.
  • Alternatively, use Flexbox or adjust manual positioning via Grid Child settings.
  • Preview and test changes across devices to ensure correct layout behavior.

To change the order of a grid layout in Webflow for mobile devices, you’ll need to override the grid settings specifically for smaller breakpoints.

1. Switch to the Mobile Breakpoint

  • Open Webflow Designer.
  • In the top navigation, click the mobile or mobile landscape icon to switch to your desired mobile breakpoint (e.g., Tablet, Mobile Landscape, Mobile Portrait).
  • All changes from here apply only to this breakpoint and below (unless specifically overridden on a smaller one).

2. Select the Grid Container

  • Click on the grid container element in the Navigator or Designer.
  • In the Style panel, scroll to the Layout section where you see the Grid layout controls.

3. Update the Grid Structure

  • Click the "Edit Grid" button to open the grid editor.
  • Drag and drop items to rearrange them in the desired order specifically for mobile.
  • Items can span different rows/columns based on your layout needs.
  • Each grid layout is responsive, so your changes won't affect larger breakpoints unless made directly on them.

4. Use Custom Order with Flex/Grid (If Needed)

  • If you'd rather not use the grid editor:
  • Consider switching the display to Flexbox for more granular control.
  • Or apply Manual Positioning in the grid using the item’s settings:
    • Click a grid child element.
    • Under Grid Child settings (Style Panel → Layout section), adjust Row start and Column start values to move it.

5. Test Across Devices

  • Use the Preview mode in each breakpoint and test the layout changes.
  • Publish or use Webflow’s preview link to confirm behavior on real devices.

Summary

To reorder grid items for mobile in Webflow, switch to a mobile breakpoint, enter grid edit mode, and drag items into the new positions. These changes apply only to smaller devices unless you update other breakpoints as well.
