Bootstrap 4 Modal styling (FlexBox) not working in IE

Question

I am creating a confirm dialog using Bootstrap 4 and the code goes like this

<div class="modal fade show" id="completeAlertDialogue" role="dialog" style="display: block;">
   <div class="modal-dialog">
      <div class="modal-content">
         <div class="modal-header">
            <h4 class="modal-title">Confirm Navigation</h4>
         </div>
         <div class="modal-body">
            <p>You haven't saved your changes. Are you sure you want to leave this page?</p>
         </div>
         <div class="modal-footer">
            <div class="order-2"><button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" type="button" data-dismiss="modal">Yes</button></div>
            <div class="mr-auto order-1"><button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-secondary" type="button" data-dismiss="modal">No</button></div>
            <div class="clearfix"></div>
         </div>
      </div>
   </div>
</div>

The styling is working fine in chrome, firefox, edge but not working in IE

IE11

Created a fiddle for the same.

Try the following HTML structure for "modal-footer"

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<div class="modal fade show" id="completeAlertDialogue" role="dialog" style="display: block;">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title">Confirm Navigation</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>You haven't saved your changes. Are you sure you want to leave this page?</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer justify-content-start">
        <button class="btn btn-sm btn-outline-secondary" type="button" data-dismiss="modal">No</button>
        <button class="ml-auto btn btn-sm btn-primary" type="button" data-dismiss="modal">Yes</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

I am not sure why are you keeping the Yes/No divs in opposite order in HTML when you want to paint them other way round. So I have changed their position in HTML. So you wont require order-* property now. — Nandita Sharma, Feb 14 '19 at 07:06
