Bootstrap - Change rows and columns order

Question

Using Bootstrap is it possible to have these two different layouts depending on the viewport? I've been searching about this and I'm aware of the concepts push, pull and responsive utilities but the examples I've found had simpler structures.

On this case, I rather not use responsive utilities (because there would be lots of repeated processing) and/or JavaScript, just HTML and CSS manipulation.

Here's a fiddle with the wrong layout on smartphones...

<div class="row">   <div class="col-sm-4 elA">Title A</div>   <div class="col-sm-4 elB">Title B</div>   <div class="col-sm-4 elC">Title C</div>    <div class="col-sm-4 elA">Graph A</div>   <div class="col-sm-4 elB">Graph B</div>   <div class="col-sm-4 elC">Graph C</div>    <div class="col-sm-12 elA">List A</div>   <div class="col-sm-12 elB">List B</div>   <div class="col-sm-12 elC">List C</div> </div> 

Tablets and desktops layout

Smartphones layout

Answer 1

I found this question today and saw no such answer that would satisfy the OP and the future visitors of this post. Thus, decided to answer it with current bootstrap 4 version:

<div class="row">   <div class="col-12 col-md-4 order-1">     <div class="m-3 bg-warning">Title A</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 col-md-4 order-4 order-md-2">     <div class="m-3 bg-success">Title B</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 col-md-4 order-7 order-md-3">     <div class="m-3 bg-info">Title C</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 col-md-4 order-2 order-md-4">     <div class="m-3 bg-warning">Graph A</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 col-md-4 order-5 order-md-5">     <div class="m-3 bg-success">Graph B</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 col-md-4 order-8 order-md-6">     <div class="m-3 bg-info">Graph C</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 order-3 order-md-7">     <div class="m-3 bg-warning">List A</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 order-6 order-md-8">     <div class="m-3 bg-success">List B</div>   </div>   <div class="col-12 order-9">     <div class="m-3 bg-info">List C</div>   </div> </div> 

Here's the demo for bootstrap 4 row and column ordering. I hope, you'll be able to manage column ordering in bootstrap 3 as well if you are working on it.

Answer 2

There are 2 solutions without using Javascript

First Option:

The element list is using Responsive Utilities Classes

http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities

Check this example: http://jsfiddle.net/ppollono/mehfb6p0/12/

For the list in the first row

class="visible-xs" 

For the list at the bottom

class="hidden-xs" 

CONTS: element list is duplicated

Second Option:

Use Flex display

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Flexible_boxes

Check this example: http://codepen.io/Palapas/pen/LVvbyW?editors=110

.row {    margin: 0px;    padding: 0px;    background: #999;    display: -webkit-box;    display: -moz-box;    display: -ms-flexbox;    display: -webkit-flex;    display: flex;    -webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;    flex-flow: row wrap;    -webkit-justify-content: space-between;    justify-content: space-between;  }  .row div {    padding: 5px;    margin: 5px;    border: 1px solid #000;    border-radius: 3px;    width: 100%;  }  .elA {    background-color: #E99048;  }  .elB {    background-color: #B0C07E;  }  .elC {    background-color: #B0B9DC;  }  @media (min-width: 768px) {    .row .et {      -webkit-order: 1;      order: 1;      width: 30%;    }    .row .eg {      -webkit-order: 2;      order: 2;      width: 30%;    }    .row .el {      -webkit-order: 3;      order: 3;    }  }
