Actually, "self-align" adjusts along the cross axis, which will always be perpendicular to the flex-direction.

So if you were seeing it adjust the Y-axis, then your flex-direction must have been "row" (the default) or "row-reverse".

BTW: If you're not already familiar with them, you're going to love these additional fun learning resources for flexbox:
