Comic: Technical Interview Elijah Manor • 4 months Using flex to reverse order is not a11y friendly, but it shows you can think outside the box. Also it helps to think about both sides of a problem, not always all JavaScript or all CSS. Sometimes the best solution can be a combination of both. @elijahmanor Manorisms elijahmanor.com/pun-interview Okay, I need you to write **code** to reverse this list /wha?/ wha? 1. Apples 2. Oranges 3. Pears 4. Lemons <ol reversed> <li>Apples</li> <li>Oranges</li> <li>Pears</li> <li>Lemons</li> </ol> Ahh, I can add the reversed attribute to the <ol> element Wait, what!?! No, not reversed numbers, but reverse list order! Oh, that's easy! ol { display: flex; flex-direction: column-reverse; } If you'd prefer to not have animation, there's a static PNG version of the comic available or you could turn on prefers-reduced-motion for your operating system. Another alternative is to mouse over the comic to pause the animation.
