Reasonable arguments can be made for making the "column axis" (and "row axis") go in either direction: * "column axis" should be oriented the same way as columns themselves (vertical in English) * "column axis" should be the direction that a column grows (vertical) * "column axis" should be the direction that you add new columns in / number the columns (horizontal) (2) and (3) from above *both* correspond to how block/inlines work - as you add more content to a block/inline, it grows vertical/horizontally, but if you add more blocks/inlines, they *also* get added vertically/horizontally, so you can't use block/inline as a pattern to follow here. Ultimately, it was "column axis should put you in mind of a column" that decided us on the current definition. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1299#issuecomment-298106439 using your GitHub account
