CSS Flexbox defines [`order`](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-flexbox/#order-property) as > Applies to: flex items and absolutely-positioned children of flex containers However, per WG resolution, abspos children of a flexbox no longer respond to the `order` property, see e0a384bfceb93dafc254de81ed11e3d92c804128 and https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Apr/0351.html. So unless I'm missing something, `order` should no longer apply to them.
