I have issues with "row" vs "column"

If you choose "row", I see 1 row and 5 columns. So if I want more columns, I need to choose "row".

When the content is wrapped, the setting is more intuitive, but most of the time, you don't want to use the wrap feature.

I've deeply internalised that with flexbox, when using rows or columns that I need to visualise a row that holds multiple columns. And for a column, it's got multiple rows inside it. I literally have to visualise this in my head to remember the correct property.
