How to reorder blocks for Mobile Squarespace 7.1

This tutorial will show you how to reorder blocks on mobile in Squarespace 7.1. There are instances where the blocks do not line up in the order we like them to be on mobile devices compared to what is viewed on desktop. The reason why the order of blocks on your mobile version may go awry is that responsiveness on mobile devices works in columns.

A useful tool you can use to identify the #collection-id, #blockidnumber and section[data-section-id="#"] is a Chrome Extension called Squarespace ID Finder (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/squarespace-id-finder/igjamfnifnkmecjidfbdipieoaeghcff) which we fully recommend.

Complexity: Easy
