APEX 5.0 - New Features - Sub Region - Region Position
One of the first things I checked in APEX 5.0 EA was the region positioning of the sub regions. I was positively surprised to see that I can now position the regions next to each other as well. In earlier versions the only option was underneath. Having this possibility it will be much easier to create complex forms where you need to take care of positioning multiple items in more than one column. At the moment this is doable but somewhat tricky.

Hi,
sub region positioning is not a new feature in APEX 5.0, it's already available in 4.2 and I believe also in 4.1.
The possibility to position sub regions is defined by the "Sub Region Template" attributes in the region template of your parent region. If those are empty, we can generate a regular layout grid and developers will be able to specify a usual properties like Start New Row, ...
If you have defined a Sub Region Template, for example to show an accordion, ... you are taking control of the emitted HTML and we can't generate the grid layout anymore.
Hope that explains the behavior

Patrick,
Thanks. I just checked and you are correct. Obviously I checked that in templates where the grid layout wasn't possible.

Hi,
Can you please share the steps to position the regions next to each other in APEX 5.0. I created a region and two sub regions but they are not appearing next to each other.
