Hi,
is there any way to set order of regions in the region chain from CSS?
In some cases order in document may be set to mach layout and can't be changed because of that. And this order may not be appropriate in some cases;

Same situations may appear with multiple sources for named-flow.

Also is there any plans for moving spec forward?
It marked as depricated here

And one another question: flow sources will disappear from page, right? Or other way content on the screen will appear twice.

With all best Regards,
Anton.

Early on we had ordering in the region chain, but we removed it because it did not seem to give enough benefit to outweigh the added complexity. Document order (both for the chain and for the named flow content) almost always corresponds to reading order. Could you describe the case you're thinking of where it does not?

Flow sources are not displayed in their normal boxes if they are assigned to a region chain. Nothing gets displayed twice. You can try this out in Safari and Edge. While it's true that Chrome has deprecated their implementation, I'm hoping they can be convinced to add it back in.
