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