Show div when checkbox id checked but under the all checkboxes

Question

I have a form containing 20 checkboxes.

I want to show the content of a div when a checkbox is checked. I got a result like that

#toggle-content1 {
  display: none;
}

#mycheckbox1:checked~#toggle-content1 {
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
}

#toggle-content2 {
  display: none;
}

#mycheckbox2:checked~#toggle-content2 {
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
}

<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" id="mycheckbox1" value="0" />
<div id="toggle-content1">
  This content should appear when the checkbox is checked
</div>
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" id="mycheckbox2" value="0" />
<div id="toggle-content2">
  This content should appear when the checkbox is checked
</div>

But if you give it a try the code snippet, you'll notice that the first checkbox move the second one(when opened the div), is there a way to leave the checkbox in one row and display the divs on the others?

The css world is new to me, there is a way to write that code for 20 checkbox without write the css for every div?

You can try something like this:

.content {
  display: none;
  width: 100%;
}

/*Use + to target only one .content*/
input[type=checkbox]:checked + .content {
  display: block;
  height: 50px;
}

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

input[type=checkbox] {
  order: -1; /*make all the input on the top*/
}

<div class="container">
  <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="0">
  <div class="content">
    0)This content should appear when the checkbox is checked
  </div>
  <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="1">
  <div class="content">
    1)This content should appear when the checkbox is checked
  </div>
  <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="2">
  <div class="content">
    2)This content should appear when the checkbox is checked
  </div>
  <input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" value="3">
  <div class="content">
    3)This content should appear when the checkbox is checked
  </div>
</div>

Answer 2

I simply reordered your tags, input first then divs. But i'm not really sure that's what you want

#toggle-content1 {
  display: none;
}

#mycheckbox1:checked~#toggle-content1 {
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
}

#toggle-content2 {
  display: none;
}

#mycheckbox2:checked~#toggle-content2 {
  display: block;
  height: 100px;
}

<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" id="mycheckbox1" value="0" />
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox" id="mycheckbox2" value="0" />
<div id="toggle-content1">
  This content should appear when the checkbox1 is checked
</div>
<div id="toggle-content2">
  This content should appear when the checkbox2 is checked
</div>
