Question

I want to show data in order of column where the num are given in octobercms,
default.htm
{% set post = __SELF__.post %}
<div class="content">{{ post.content_html|raw }}</div>
{% if post.featured_images.count %}
<div class="featured-images text-center">
{% for image in post.featured_images %}
<p>
<img
data-src="{{ image.filename }}"
src="{{ image.path }}"
alt="{{ image.description }}"
style="max-width: 100%" />
</p>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endif %}
<p class="info">
Posted
{% if post.categories.count %} in
{% for category in post.categories %}
{{ category.name }}{% if not loop.last %}, {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
on {{ post.published_at|date('M d, Y') }}
</p>
<p class="info">
{% for blocks in post.blocks %} // here the output of this loop must show in order which are given in column in same table which is relation_sort_order
<b> {{ blocks.title}}</b>
{{ blocks.content_html|raw }}
{% endfor %}
</p>
how i can show the blocks in number in relation_sort_order field

Answer 1

Assuming that the post variable is a custom Model object, and blocks is a relation on that object, the best way to do what you are asking to is to update the relationship definition in the model class that defines your post object.
You didn't include the code for that, but it probably looks something like this:
public $hasMany = [
'blocks' => 'Acme\Blog\Models\Block'
]
You can update that to include a sort order by default, see this section of the OctoberCMS documentation
But in short, you would change the above to this:
public $hasMany = [
'blocks' => [
'Acme\Blog\Models\Block',
'order' => 'relation_sort_order asc'
]
];
Then anytime in you accessed the blocks relationship from your Post class, it would automatically sort it in that order.
