Answer 1

When you're using all() you get all the rows from the table and get a collection. You can only invoke "paginate" on a Query, not on a Collection. :

$article = Article::orderBy("order")->paginate(3);

^{There is no sortBy() method on the query builder, it should be orderBy. You can only invoke "sortBy" on a Collection, not on a Query.}
