Ordering media

This package has a built-in feature to help you order the media in your project. By default, all inserted media items are arranged in order by their time of creation (from the oldest to the newest) using the order_column column of the media table.

You can easily reorder a list of media by calling ̀Media::setNewOrder`:

 /**
  * This function reorders the records: the record with the first id in the array
  * will get order 1, the record with the second id will get order 2, ...
  *
  * A starting order number can be optionally supplied (defaults to 1).
  *
  * @param array $ids
  * @param int $startOrder
  */
Media::setNewOrder([11, 2, 26]);

Of course, you can also manually change the value of the order_column.

$media->order_column = 10;

$media->save();
