Can a TD come before a TH?

HTML & CSS
6

Hi,
Working from the html I used in my last post you can just set the pseudo :before element on the .arrow class only.

Then remove the arrow from the flow with absolute positioning and shift it left.

td, th {
  border: 1px solid #000;
  padding: 4px;
}
th[scope="row"] {
 text-align:left;
 background:#eee;
}
th.arrow::before {
  content:'\27A4';
  color: red;
  position: absolute;
  margin-left:-1.5em;
}
