column-fill
CSS column-fill Property
The column-fill property defines whether the columns are filled balanced or not.
The column-fill property is one of the CSS3 properties.
If a height is added to a multi-column element, it will be possible to control how the columns are filled with content. The content can be balanced or filled sequentially. Thus, it has two values: balance and auto. “Balance” is the default value. Content is equally divided between columns. If columns are specified by the “auto” value, the content takes up the room it needs.
Firefox automatically balances the content in a height-constrained multi-column layout while other browsers always fill columns sequentially when given a height constraint.
