--description--

Adding display: flex to an element turns it into a flex container. This makes it possible to align any children of that element into rows or columns. You do this by adding the flex-direction property to the parent item and setting it to row or column. Creating a row will align the children horizontally, and creating a column will align the children vertically.

Other options for flex-direction are row-reverse and column-reverse.

Note: The default value for the flex-direction property is row.

--instructions--

Add the CSS property flex-direction to the #box-container element, and give it a value of row-reverse.

--hints--

The #box-container element should have a flex-direction property set to row-reverse.

assert($('#box-container').css('flex-direction') == 'row-reverse');
