I have a CSS issue what type of display mode to use for a design I've received from the design team.

The issue concerns a product page for a web shop. On desktop, it's divided into two columns (as shown below), with a couple of different sections. On mobile, the order of these children are completely different.

(On mobile, the order is TITLE, GALLERY, PRICE, DESCRIPTION, CONFIGURATION, DATA, DOWNLOADS, STOCK, ADD TO CART)

My initial thought was to have a wrapper and then put each child in there, where the children are in mobile order, and I change the order on desktop with something like this:

.product-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: repeat(8, auto);
  grid-column-gap: 1rem;
}

.product-grid__cell {
  font-family: Arial, Helvetica;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: white;
}

.product-grid__title {
  order: 2;
  background: #4e8d27;
}

.product-grid__price {
  order: 4;
  background: #8d2787;
}

.product-grid__data {
  order: 6;
  background: #c71515;
}

.product-grid__description {
  order: 8;
  background: #15c7c5;
}

.product-grid__configuration {
  order: 10;
  background: #f20775;
}

.product-grid__gallery {
  order: 1;
  grid-row: span 6;
  background: #8a8a8a;
}

.product-grid__compability {
  order: 13;
  background: #33f145;
}

.product-grid__downloads {
  order: 15;
  background: #c409e6;
}

.product-grid__stock {
  order: 12;
  background: #f2b207;
}

.product-grid__buttons {
  order: 14;
  background: #0c07f2;
}
a {
  color: white;
}
<div class="product-grid">
  <!-- Title -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__title">
    <h1>Title</h1>
  </div>

  <!-- Price -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__price">
    <h2>£ 120.50</h2>
  </div>

  <!-- Data -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__data">
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>Weight</td>
        <td>2 kg</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Height</td>
        <td>1.2 m</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>

  <!-- Description -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__description">
    <p>This is a description of the product</p>
  </div>

  <!-- Configuration -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__configuration">
    <input type="radio" id="radio-1"> <label for="radio-1">Option 1</label>
    <input type="radio" id="radio-2"> <label for="radio-1">Option 2</label>
  </div>

  <!-- Gallery -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__gallery">
    <img src="https://cdn.bike24.net/i/p/0/0/297800_00_c.jpg?v732128dd8d11dbaab0448ad94b547b2f4b8ed8a6">
  </div>

  <!-- Compability -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__compability">
    <p>This product goes well with other bikes.</p>
  </div>

  <!-- Downloads -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__downloads">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#!">Download manual</a></li>
      <li><a href="#!">Download license agreement</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

  <!-- Stock -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__stock">
    <p>4 items left in stock</p>
  </div>

  <!-- Buttons -->
  <div class="product-grid__cell product-grid__buttons">
    <button type="button">Add to cart</button>
  </div>
</div>

But the issue here is the dynamic heights, where the product-grid__downloads will end up on the same row as product-grid__add-to-cart – ALWAYS, which is not something that I desire.

Using columns didn't turn out right either.

    Welcome to SO Eric. It would be useful if you could show us all the HTML and CSS as a code snippet. – Mike Poole Aug 16 '19 at 10:34
  • Because technically, **it's not a grid**...it's just two isolated columns with different layouts next to each other. Until `display:contents` is properly supported you may be out of luck. – Paulie_D Aug 16 '19 at 10:39

  • @MikePoole thanks! I've added a snippet now. – Erik Blomqvist Aug 16 '19 at 11:06
  • @AndTheGodsMadeLove that's not really what I'm after. Look at my updated snippet and also note that the content in the columns should have the heights dynamic (hence, not a grid, as Paulie_D pointed out). – Erik Blomqvist Aug 16 '19 at 11:07

that is exactly what I have tried. CSS Grid or Flexbox isn't a solution because of the dynamic containers height. I solved it by editing the DOM via Javascript listening on a Match Media Query change event. But I didn't really like that solution as it is not a native HTML/CSS solution and also comes with other disadvantages. So I know its a while ago for you, but I am really excited to hear whats your solution here as this is quite actual issue for me
