MySQL issue with RAND() and 1 DESC? - php

Question

I have created a gallery using a database. All the images are showing randomly on Home page. Now I need to add a new "Latest"index.php/latest.php category to my navigation bar.
I'm using infinite scroll and a little trick to order randomly$rand=date("i");.
Question: ORDER BY 1 DESC is not working on index.php/latest.php, because I have ordered by randomly on the Home page. How could I order by descending order on the Latest page without changing the Home page order?
index.php
<?php
include ("sqli.php");
$rand=date("i");
$seed=($rand);
$per_page = 9;
if (isset($_GET["page"])) {
$page = $_GET["page"];
}
else {
$page=1;
}
$start_from = ($page-1) * $per_page;
$query = "SELECT * FROM data ORDER BY RAND($rand) LIMIT $start_from, $per_page";
$result = mysqli_query ($con, $query);
<?php while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
?>
<div id="gallery here"></div>
<?php> } ?>
latest.php
<?php
include ("sqli.php");
$per_page = 9;
if (isset($_GET["page"])) {
$page = $_GET["page"];
}
else {
$page=1;
}
$start_from = ($page-1) * $per_page;
$query = "SELECT * FROM data ORDER BY 1 DESC LIMIT $start_from, $per_page";
$result = mysqli_query ($con, $query);
?>
<?php while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
?>
<div id="gallery here"></div>
<?php> } ?>

Answer 1

You have to set order by createdAt field(by your date field) in last.php:
$query = "SELECT * FROM data ORDER BY createdAt DESC LIMIT $start_from, $per_page";

This issue was solved by me. This issue related to infinite-scroll navigation. I hope my PHP code will help to someone. You can use this PHP code for jQuery Infinite-Scroll pagination. I'm here if you have any question. Thanks all.
