Describe your suggestion
So i was reading through an article by internet is hard on flexbox (as additional resource), and some of the explaination felt incomplete, specially when i read order in flexbox model, it was so confusing.
after a google search i reached a site named SamanthaMing.com's article on order which contained only single image, see here, it felt like self realization at spiritual level, with just one look at it.
My suggestion is if this resource makes sense to you guys and the pwner agrees, may be it can be introduced to others as additional resource.

Thank you for raising this issue @Confused-code
Going to check with the @TheOdinProject/foundations team to see what their opinions are on this resource.
Personally I have 2 viewpoints:
- It almost feels like this resource is too simple. It covers an extremely narrow/specific facet of flex, so I'm not entirely sure the importance of offering it as an additional resource
- I feel we shouldn't promote fiddling with things like the
orderproperty for people most likely just starting out, at least with this sort of context where it's just stating the CSS property/showing how to use it without really going into more details surrounding it. Doing so can have pretty big, negative side effects that people should be aware of (namely that the tab order will no longer match the visual order of items and can be confusing at best for certain users). The suggested link kind of just comes across as "Use this property! No issues whatsoever!" when that is not the case.
I agree, IIRC we don't cover flex order in any of basic flexbox lessons and shouldn't link to any resources that cover it specifically. We could remove the interneting is hard tutorial to later on, or remove it?
This issue is stale because it has had no activity for the last 30 days.
Do we have a consensus on any action needed here?

We decided we have all the information needed on flex box already covered in the lesson so we close this
