The FlowLayout manager is the only option that lays out components from left to right and then top to bottom. BorderLayout, GridLayout, and BoxLayout all have different layout patterns and do not follow this specific flow.

GridLayout places components in a grid pattern based on the number of rows and columns specified. BoxLayout organizes components in either a horizontal or vertical row.
