Change the order of col-*-12 columns in Bootstrap using push/pull

Question

I have two columns of the same size (.col-xs-12) and I would change their place when the screen size correspond to that of a mobile device. I would place them in the reverse order.

I have read that push and pull bootstrap directives help to accomplish that, but is it possible to change the place of two columns of the same size with the following classes?

div.col-xs-12.col-xs-push-12
  p test1
div.col-xs-12.col-xs-pull-12
  p test2

Answer 1

Actually you can not reorder the columns having .col-*-12 by push/pull helper classes. The sum of columns exceeds the default 12 columns which is defined by @grid-columns.

You could either change the order of columns in HTML and then use the ordering classes on larger screens as follows:

EXAMPLE HERE

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-push-6">
    <p>test2</p>
  </div>

  <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 col-sm-pull-6">
    <p>test1</p>
  </div>
</div>

Or use this fancy approach to reverse the ordering of the columns that are placed vertically under each other:

EXAMPLE HERE

@media (max-width: 767px) {
  .row.reorder-xs {
    transform: rotate(180deg);
    direction: rtl; /* Fix the horizontal alignment */
  }

  .row.reorder-xs > [class*="col-"] {
    transform: rotate(-180deg);
    direction: ltr; /* Fix the horizontal alignment */
  }
}

It's worth noting that CSS transforms are supported in IE9 as well; Just don't forget to add vendor prefixes.
