Again, may I inquire why? The top-right-bottom-left order is the standard order for all side-related things in CSS; listing things in a different order is very confusing to readers, who then waste time trying to figure out why the order was changed in this one instance. Is there a good reason to keep the order as-is? Or is the goal to avoid unnecessary changes? (I can sympathize with that, for extensive changes, but this change just involves swapping "right" and "bottom" there....) -Boris
