Using ::before & ::after pseduo elements to move element from left to right

Question

fairly new to using ::before & ::after with CSS. Here's what I have so far:

I have the checkbox that is created by the before & after on the StyledLabel - I basically just want to swap the order of the checkbox and the label, so that the checkbox comes after (to the right of) the label?

.wrapper {
  display: inline-flex;
  min-height: 1.5rem;
  padding-left: 1.5rem;
  margin-right: 1 rem;
}

.label {
  position: relative;
  margin-bottom: 0;
 }


 .label:before {
    position: absolute;
    top: 4px;
    left: -24px;
    display: block;
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
    pointer-events: none;
    content: "";
    background-color: red;
  }
  
 .label:after {
    position: absolute;
    top: 4px;
    left: -24px;
    display: block;
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    content: "";
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
    background-size: 50% 50%;
  }
}

<div class="wrapper">
  <label class="label">
    <div class="label-wrapper">In progress</div>
  </label>
</div>

You don't need to use positioning here, just flexbox and row-reverse

.wrapper {
  display: inline-flex;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 1.5rem;
  padding-left: 4px;
  margin-right: 1rem;
  border:1px solid grey;
}

.label {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction:row-reverse;
  position: relative;
  margin-bottom: 0;
}
.label:before {
    display: block;
    width: 20px;
    height: 20px;
    pointer-events: none;
    content: "";
    background-color: red;
    margin:0  4px;

  }

<div class="wrapper">
  <label class="label">
    <div class="label-wrapper">In progress</div>
  </label>
</div>
