# Flex Direction
Utilities for controlling the direction of flex items.
### Row Default
Use `.flex-row` to position flex items horizontally in the same direction as text:
@component('_partials.code-sample')
@endcomponent
### Row reversed
Use `.flex-row-reverse` to position flex items horizontally in the opposite direction:
@component('_partials.code-sample')
@endcomponent
### Column
Use `.flex-col` to position flex items vertically:
@component('_partials.code-sample')
@endcomponent
### Column reversed
Use `.flex-col-reverse` to position flex items vertically in the opposite direction:
@component('_partials.code-sample')
@endcomponent
## Responsive
To apply a flex direction utility only at a specific breakpoint, add a `{breakpoint}:` prefix to the existing class name. For example, adding the class `md:flex-row` to an element would apply the `flex-row` utility at medium screen sizes and above.
