## Use the flex-direction Property to Make a Row
Once you have a flex container by adding display: flex; to the parent container, you can specify if you want the children to be stacked in a row by adding the following:
```css
#box-container {
display: flex; /* This makes the flex container */
height: 500px;
flex-direction: row-reverse; /* This makes the direction be a row with reversed elements */
}
```
You will notice how the colors switch positions as the default direction of flex containers are rows as you might have noticed from the tweet example.
