[Edit: Corrected the CSS to work on all categories.]  
[Edit2: Needed to add “display: block;” to the container after a recent Discourse change.]

I haven’t tested this much, as I only just did it, but I made this CSS change which others may find useful, if they dislike the new topic list layout.

Before:

After:

CSS code:

```css
.topic-list-item .link-bottom-line {
	float: right;
	margin-top: 0.2em;
	display: block;
}

.topic-list-item .link-bottom-line .badge-wrapper.bullet {
	float: right;
	margin-left: 1em;
}

.topic-list-item .link-bottom-line .discourse-tags {
	float: right;
	margin-left: 1em;
}

```

Add it as a Component here in the Admin / Customize / Themes area:

(n.b. CSS in screenshot is an older/ version. CSS in text above is the one to use. Screenshot is just to show you where to paste it.)

(I only added for **Desktop** as the new stock layout probably makes sense on phones.)

And then add that Component to some or all of your Themes in the same area.
