 For utility purposes, `react-apollo` exports a `compose` function. Using this function you may cleanly use several component enhancers at once. Including multiple [`graphql()`](#graphql), [`withApollo()`](#withApollo), or [Redux `connect()`][] enhancers. This should clean up your code when you use multiple enhancers. [Redux][] also exports a `compose` function, and so does [Recompose][] so you may choose to use the function from whichever library feels most appropriate.
 
-An important note is that `compose()` executes the last enhancer _first_ and works its way backwards through the list of enhancers. To illustrate calling three functions like this: `funcC(funcB(funcA(component)))` is equivalent to calling `compose()` like this: `compose(funcC, funcB, funcA)(component)`. If this does not make sense to you consider using [`flowRight()` from Lodash][] which otherwise has the same behavior.
+An important note is that `compose()` executes the first enhancer _first_ and works its way forwards through the list of enhancers. In other words, calling three functions like this: `funcA(funcB(funcC(component)))` is equivalent to calling `compose()` like this: `compose(funcC, funcB, funcA)(component)`.
