Question

{
    return $this->hasMany(News::class, ['id' => 'news_id'])->viaTable('news_trademark', ['trademark_id' => 'id']);
}

a

$trademark->news->orderBy(['created_at' => SORT_DESC])->limit(4)->all()

does not work

Answer 1

This is how it should be:
When you access the news property, under the hood, the query is already being executed and the result is returned.
Therefore, you need to refer to the getNews() method - it will return a query object on which you can set additional conditions and then call all() already.
