Column component

Components placed in a column appear below each other. You can use this component to horizontally divide the screen into several columns.

You can set the width, offset, alignment and order of each column separately. You can change these settings globally, or depending on the current screen size. This allows you to create different views for desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
