public function LoadAllBlogs(){

         $blogs = array();

         $this->db->select('id');
         $this->db->from('blog');
         $q=  $this->db->get();                                 

         foreach ($q->result() as $row) {
               $blog = new Blog();
               $blog->loadWithLatestPublishedEntry($row->id);
               $blogs[] = $blog;
         }

     return $blogs; //contain all the blogs entry and the date in which blog is created
}

can anyone help me…..

You are going to need to add an ORDER BY clause to your query so they are sorted by your database. It’s pretty simple, pass the order_by() function a field name and either asc for ascending or desc for descending.

$this->db->select('id');
$this->db->from('blog');
$this->db->order_by("date_created", "desc");
$q = $this->db->get();
