± Rename flex-order
± ===============
± 
± fantasai recommends changing flex-order to box-order, for the 
± same reasons as the alignment properties - this property is 
± potentially usable by other layout modes, and if they do, it 
± would be nice to have a more generic name.
± 
± 'box-order' matches the naming convention fantasai established 
± in her suggestion for renaming the alignment properties.

As with other renames, this will make sense when there is a specification that defines the generic property across all its intended use. I am really not comfortable with speculative rename, while we didn’t yet have a serious conversation about ever having that applicable to blocks, lists or tables.
