Dawn Theme - Change order of multicolumn for mobile

Topic summary

Goal: On a Dawn theme homepage with a 3-column “multicolumn” section, ensure the second (middle) column is the first item shown on mobile. Currently, on mobile the section becomes a horizontal swipe/slider and always starts with the first column.

Context: “Multicolumn” = a homepage section displaying items in columns on desktop; on mobile it turns into a swipeable carousel. The store owner prioritizes the middle column as the key info and wants it to appear first on load.

Latest exchange: A community member requested the store URL to inspect and propose a solution. The store owner noted the site is in private mode and questioned why the URL is necessary.

Status: No solution provided yet. Key open points: whether the initial slide can be set to the second column and what steps or code changes are needed; clarification on why access to the URL is required for troubleshooting. Discussion remains open.

Hi

I have a 3 multicolumn on my home page where the most important info is in the middle column as that’s where a person looks first - middle of screen. However, when the page loads on mobile, as it becomes a horizontal swipe control, the first column is the first thing people see.

How can I change the starting “focus” of multicolumns on mobile so that the second column appears on load?

Thanks
