## Description

This plugin adds a “Reverse on Mobile” option to the Columns, Row, Stack and Media&
Text blocks in the WordPress Gutenberg block editor.

A common layout challenge: you have two columns on desktop, image on the right, 
text on the left. On mobile, they stack vertically, but the image ends up below 
the text. With this plugin, you can reverse the stacking order so the image appears
first, without touching your desktop layout.

Simply enable the “Reverse on Mobile” toggle in the block settings and the order
is automatically adjusted on small screens.

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin.
 2. Unzip the downloaded file.
 3. Upload the `block-editor-columns-reverse` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` 
    directory.
 4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### Which blocks are supported?

The `core/columns`, `core/group` (flex layouts), and `core/media-text` blocks are
supported.

### How do I enable the “Reverse on Mobile” option?

In the block editor, select a Columns, Row, Stack or Media & Text block, then go
to the block settings in the sidebar. You will see an option to “Reverse on Mobile”.

Note: For Row blocks, you must enable “Allow to wrap to multiple lines” in the Layout
settings for the reverse option to appear.

### What is the breakpoint for the mobile view?

The mobile view breakpoint is set at less than 782px, matching the one used for 
the `core/columns` block. When the screen width is 781px or smaller, columns will
reverse their order if the “Reverse on Mobile” option is enabled.

For the `core/media-text` block, the default breakpoint is 600px or below.

This plugin is exactly what I was looking for for my client’s website. It adds perfect
features to adapt blocks for mobile devices, making responsive design so much easier.
I recommend this plugin 3000%! Not only does it work flawlessly, but the plugin 
creator is helpful when you have questions. The excellent support combined with 
the plugin’s functionality makes this an absolute must-have. Definitely deserves
all 5 stars!

I needed the facility to reverse columns on mobile devices. With a simple toggle,
it does exactly that.

Simple & clean. Functionality should be part of the official wordpress release.

A nice little plugin that only does what it needs to do. Very useful for anyone,
who does not want to implement a custom solution or write the CSS code with some
manually attached CSS class into their themes.
