# NSCollectionLayoutSectionOrthogonalScrollingBehavior

The scrolling behavior of the layout’s sections in relation to the main layout axis.

## Declaration

```swift
enum NSCollectionLayoutSectionOrthogonalScrollingBehavior
```

## Overview

Overview By default, each section lays out its content along the main axis of its layout, defined by the layout configuration’s scrollDirection property. You can change this behavior for a particular section by setting its orthogonalScrollingBehavior property to a different value than its default NSCollectionLayoutSectionOrthogonalScrollingBehavior.none. Setting any other value for this property makes the section lay out its content orthogonally to the main layout axis.
