How to arrange 3 divs in a different way for responsive design

Question

I am working on a page redesign that contains 3 divs and I want to make it responsive.

The problem I face is that the divs for large screen are arranged in the order 1,2,3. For responsive design however, I want to change the order to 1,3,2:

I tried different approaches like changing position to relative/absolute/static or changing the divs order with alternative CSS code but nothing proved to work so far.

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

.one {
  float: left;
  width: 150px;
  border: solid 2px #eaeaea;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 0;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  height: 100px;
}
.two {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 0 24px;
  width: 150px;
  border: solid 2px #eaeaea;
  height: 100px;
}
.three {
  float: left;
  width: 900px;
  border: solid 2px #eaeaea;
  height: 100px;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 500px) {
  .one {
    width: 93%;
    padding: 3%;
  }
  .two {
    width: 100%;
    margin-left: 0px;
  }
  .three {
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0px;
  }
}

<div class="one">Content1</div>
<div class="two">Content2</div>
<div class="three">Content3</div>

<div class="500markup">This box is 500px</div>

This can be achieved using flexbox:

• Contain the divs in a #container set to display: flex; this will tell the child divs to use the flexbox model
• Add flex: 1; to .one and .two to tell them to grow if required
• Add flex-basis: 100%; to .three to ensure it takes up the full width of the container
• Add order: *n*; to .one, .two and .three to give them the desired order when they adapt to the smaller screen size

#container {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  width: 100%;
}
.one {
  border: solid 2px #eaeaea;
  flex: 1;
  height: 100px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.two {
  border: solid 2px #eaeaea;
  flex: 1;
  height: 100px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.three {
  border: solid 2px #eaeaea;
  flex-basis: 100%;
  height: 100px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 500px) {
  .one {
    flex-basis: 100%;
    order: 1;
  }
  .two {
    flex-basis: 100%;
    order: 3;
  }
  .three {
    flex-basis: 100%;
    order: 2;
  }
}

<div id="container">
  <div class="one">Content1</div>
  <div class="two">Content2</div>
  <div class="three">Content3</div>
</div>

Answer 3

Flexbox can do this.

JSfiddle Demo

* {
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
.container div {
  height: 150px;
  border: 1px solid red;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.container {
  padding: 5px;
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
  width: 500px;
  border: 1px solid grey;
}
#one,
#two {
  width: 220px;
}
#three {
  width: 500px;
}
@media (max-width: 600px) {
  #one {
    order: 1;
    width: 500px;
  }
  #two {
    order: 3;
    width: 500px;
  }
  #three {
    order: 2;
  }

<div class="container">
  <div id="one">Content1</div>
  <div id="two">Content2</div>
  <div id="three">Content3</div>
</div>

You can do like following:

@media only screen and (max-width:500px)
{       
   .one{width: 93%; padding: 3%;}
   .two{width: 100%; margin-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; position:absolute; top:320px;}
   .three{width: 100%; margin: 0px;}
}
