If I add a card collection the columns don’t work. If I set it to 4 columns it adds 4 rows. That’s a row… not a column. I don’t believe I’m doing anything wrong here at all, definitely a bug. If it’s how it’s meant to behave then change it to say rows and not columns ---

Can you show us how it is configured and the result you’re seeing on a specific device? ---

That’s not a card collection. In fact it’s not a collection at all. That’s a container that is set to 4 columns. Any container or custom collection container will reflow vertically on small devices. Regardless, if you want a card collection, be sure to add a new component to the screen and select Card instead of Container. A container should not be applicable to what you are trying to do here. ---

You should be seeing something like this with a card collection. ![1000006093](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/d/3d98791aa9883db02a2ea1643f3fe6ce229b62ee.jpeg) ---

Sorry yes my bad I meant container not collection. It does the same on a PC too, should be way clearer, if it doesnt work on a phone then call it something else ---

I have changed the title of the post to “Container columns produces rows”. It’s the default behavior for now so we can’t do more here as fellow users. Best you can do is probably make a #Feature Requests post. ---
