Sorting blog posts Yii2 advanced - why doesn't the order change?

Question

Layout

The phpStorm IDE in the SiteControllers file puts use common\models\Blog; automatically, maybe something else. In SiblimeText3, if this line is not added, it gives an error: "Class 'frontend\controllers\Blog' not found"
in the trace, the line $blogs = Blog::find( )->all(); in frontend\controllers\SiteController.php
But if you add it, blog posts appear in order one after another. Further, when changing the order of posts - nothing changes. Why is that?

Answer 1

Try property: "originLeft: false". It positions elements on the right or left side. If false, then it should be on the right.

Answer 2

or maybe make two large blocks 50% flex, and inside each small blocks just going under each other in a column

Answer 3

Alternatively, you can try columns. They are also not without flaws, but for your case,
https://codepen.io/fainz777/pen/JwPzvW?editors=0110 may be suitable

Answer 4

sorting is done like this

$blogs = Blog::find()->where(['status_id'=>1])->orderBy(['id' => SORT_DESC])->all();

либо

$blogs = Blog::find()->where(['status_id'=>1])->orderBy(['id' => SORT_ASC])->all();

well, not andWhere - but simply where, you don’t have any more conditions here.

Answer 5

use common\models\Blog;
$blogs = Blog::find()->all(); // тут блог это common\models\Blog как указано в use

Analog:
Your option:
Accordingly, by not specifying a namespace, you tell the program to look for the Blog class with the namespace of this class (in the current folder). And as a result you get "Class 'frontend\controllers\Blog' not found". Yii and code editors have nothing to do with it. It's just that phpStorm does some work for you by writing use, but SiblimeText doesn't do that, at least out of the box.
You can have 1000 Blog classes in your project and the namespace indicates which one you want to use. So you have to keep an eye on it.
