Use flex-row to position flex items horizontally in the same direction as text:

01

02

03

<div class="flex flex-row ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

Use flex-row-reverse to position flex items horizontally in the opposite direction:

01

02

03

<div class="flex flex-row-reverse ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

Use flex-col to position flex items vertically:

01

02

03

<div class="flex flex-col ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

Use flex-col-reverse to position flex items vertically in the opposite direction:

01

02

03

<div class="flex flex-col-reverse ...">  <div>01</div>  <div>02</div>  <div>03</div></div>

Prefix a flex-direction utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="flex flex-col md:flex-row ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
