If you remove display:flex at ol level and give it a column:count, your code is able to do what you are after.
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Abril+Fatface');
ol {
list-style: none;
counter-reset: my-awesome-counter;
/* display: flex; */
flex-wrap: wrap;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
column-count: 2;
}
ol li {
counter-increment: my-awesome-counter;
display: flex;
width: 50%;
font-size: 1rem;
margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}
ol li::before {
content: counter(my-awesome-counter);
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 2rem;
margin-right: 0.5rem;
font-family: 'Abril Fatface', serif;
line-height: 1;
}
body {
padding: 1rem;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
<ol>
<li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</li>

Browser support for column:count can be found here.
2 columns and show the numbers from top to bottom.
you should try this, I think these codes will help you and I have also given an example.
Example:-
https://jsfiddle.net/kapil284/h2v4d7qc/
.gallery-section{
padding: 60px 0;
}
.gallery-section .gallery-box{
background: #fff;
/* column-width: 300px; */
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 15px;
padding-left: 0;
}
.gallery-section .gallery-box .box{
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
background: #e8ce93;
padding: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}

Im trying to figure out how to split numbered list <ol> into 2 columns and show the numbers from top to bottom.
I’ve got a working fiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/qtr6mjf3/
I’m using flex 50% for this to split the columns into 2.
The problem is that it now shows the numbers ordered as:
1 – 2
3 – 4
Is it possible to reorder the list items, so the list shows as?:
1 – 3
2 – 4
Ah yes, that works great now. Many thanks for your help @Syfer
