Bootstrap 4 - How to re-position some navbar elements for different screen sizes - html

Question

So using bootstrap 4 I've created a navbar that collapses into a button when the screen gets too small. When it isn't collapsed, the navbar is setup in the perfect order. However, when it does collapse behind a button, one item (the icon image) is centered while the rest of the items are to the left. How can I make the icon go to the left ONLY when the navbar has collapsed (like the rest of the items).
I've tried doing "float-md-left" on the icon image, however that made no changes.
<!--Navbar-->
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark mx-auto">
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav mx-auto">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">The Party<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Current Stadium</a>
</li>
<a class="navbar-brand mx-auto float-sm-left" href="#"><i class="fas fa-football-ball"></i></a>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">RSVP</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Stadium History
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">2017 Stadium</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">2018 Stadium</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">2019 Stadium</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>

Answer 1

I got you point. this is happing due to mx-auto class.
Is there any specific reason for applying mx-auto class? Otherwise, you can remove itself.
Also, please remove float class.
Please have a look on below code.
<a class="navbar-brand mx-lg-auto" href="#"><i class="fas fa-football-ball"></i></a>
