float left moving wrong to place - css

Question

I am improving my css skills on w3schools, my question is what is the
reason .col-2 is under .col-6?
Isn't it suppose to be under .col-3?
I have put float left so .col-2 should go under .col-3, for over 1 hour looking for reason.
The code will not run until you click the "Run" button in the Tryit Editor.

Answer 1

change col-2 and col-3 to this:
.col-3{
float: left;
padding: 0 15px;
}
.col-2{
float: left;
padding: 0 15px;
clear: left;
}
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.row::after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.col-3 {
float: left;
padding: 0 15px;
}
.col-2 {
float: left;
padding: 0 15px;
clear: left;
}
