The keyboard navigation disconnect with Flexbox

While Flexbox is great for many things and even gives us the possibility to change the visual order of items, the feature also comes with a few issues. One of them is that not all browsers treat accessibility for screen reading the same way for this feature. Also, if you do not take care of it, the keyboard and focus order will be broken as well. Léonie Watson explains how you can fix keyboard navigation and accessibility while reodering with Flexbox.
