Adds a “Reverse stacking order” toggle to the WordPress core Columns block.

Overview

The default Columns block includes a “Stack on mobile” option, but does not allow control over the stacking order.

This plugin adds a second toggle:

  • Reverse stacking order

When enabled, columns will stack in reverse order on smaller screens.

Why this is useful

This is especially helpful for:

  • Alternating content sections
  • Image + text layouts
  • Payment forms + supporting information
  • Contact forms + contact details or branding
  • Text + video layouts
  • Marketing sections where visual content should appear first on mobile
  • Mobile-first design adjustments where content order impacts engagement

How it works

  • Adds a reverseStackOnMobile attribute to core/columns
  • Adds a toggle in the block inspector
  • Adds class: is-reversed-on-mobile
  • Uses the same breakpoint as core (781px)

Development Notes

  • Matches existing “Stack on mobile” behavior
  • No breaking changes
  • Designed as a potential Gutenberg core enhancement
