Reversing Span Order with Float:right

In the provided HTML, spans with the "button" class are styled with "float: right," causing them to display in reverse order from the HTML structure. Can the CSS be modified to retain the HTML order?

To address this issue, there are two general solutions that manipulate the positioning using CSS:

Option 1: Reverse HTML Order

Instead of floating the span elements directly, wrap them in a containing element and float that to the right. For instance:

    Settings
    Export
    Import


#buttons {
    float: right;
}

In this case, the "buttons" div with the "float: right" property encompasses the button spans, allowing them to display in the correct order.

Option 2: Maintain HTML Order

If maintaining the current HTML order is crucial, add CSS rules to explicitly specify the order of the floated spans. Use the "clear" property to break the floated elements' flow and force them to display in the original HTML order:

span.button {
    float: right;
    clear: right;
}

The "clear: right" property ensures that any following elements will start below the floated spans, effectively preserving the HTML order while accommodating the right-alignment.
