CSS Grid: Switch two specific columns order

Question

I would like to switch the 3rd and 4th column of my grid on desktop.

I know that I could assign grid-order to each item or use a own row for two of the divs and then set the order, but I would like to avoid both to reduce code.

Is there any way to achieve this with css-grid? I am open for solutions via css-flex, if that would be easier.

My current code looks like this:

.row{
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
  .row{
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr
  }
}

.row div{border:1px solid black}

  <div class="row">
      <div>[IMG]</div>
      <div>Text</div>
      <div>[IMG]</div>
      <div>Text</div>
      <div>[IMG]</div>
      <div>Text</div>
  </div>

You can use order property with a flex or grid container. If you don't want to use order, you can play with grid-column and grid-row like below.

.row {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
  .row {
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr
  }
  .row>div:nth-child(3) {
    grid-column: 2 / 3;
  }
  .row>div:nth-child(4) {
    grid-column: 1 / 2;
    grid-row: 2 / 3;
  }
}

.row div {
  border: 1px solid black
}

<div class="row">
  <div>[IMG]</div>
  <div>Text</div>
  <div style="background: red">[IMG]</div>
  <div style="background: yellow">Text</div>
  <div>[IMG]</div>
  <div>Text</div>
</div>

Thank you very much. Works like a charm. I need to wait a bit longer to accept the answer :) — Michael Walter, Mar 24 '21 at 15:03

You can simply do like below

.row{
  display: grid;
  grid-auto-columns: 1fr;
  grid-auto-flow:dense;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
  .row div:nth-child(3) {
     grid-column:2;
  }
}

.row div{border:1px solid black}

<div class="row">
      <div>[IMG]</div>
      <div>Text</div>
      <div>[IMG]</div>
      <div>Text</div>
      <div>[IMG]</div>
      <div>Text</div>
  </div>
