Bootstrap Order Cards From Top to Bottom?

Question

When using Bootstrap Cards layout, the cards are ordered by default from left to right (i.e. imagine 9 data sets in an array, these are orderd as 1, 2, 3 in Column 1, then 4, 5, 6 in Column 2, then 7, 8, 9 in Column 3) rather than top to bottom. I.e I would expect that items 1, 2, 3 would be in Row 1, items 4, 5, 6 would be in Row 2 and then items 7, 8, 9 would be in Row 3.

I can't seem to find any way of customising this looking through the Bootstrap guides and online.

Has anyone found a way of doing this?

According to this Alex Devero blog post, you can simply use the row class. Here is a full example from this blog post :

<div class="container m-t-md">
 <!-- First row -->
 <div class="row">
  <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">
   <!-- Card -->
   <article class="card animated fadeInLeft">
    <img class="card-img-top img-responsive" src="https://snap-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/img-thumbs/960w/1U2EGZ07GU.jpg" alt="Deer in nature" />
    <div class="card-block">
     <h4 class="card-title">Animal Farm</h4>
     <h6 class="text-muted">George Orwell</h6>
     <p class="card-text">Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society, only to be betrayed into worse servitude by their leaders, the pigs. This satire addresses the communist philosophy the Soviet Union.</p>
