<?php

$i = 0; 

if ( empty($image_width) ) {
    if ( $columns == 1 )
        $image_width = 960;
    else 
        $image_width = 480;
}

if ( $image_ratio && $image_width ) {
    $image_height = cloudfw_match_ratio( $image_width, $image_ratio );  
}

$atts[ 'show_side_date_year' ] = false;


while( $posts->have_posts() ) : 
    $posts->the_post();
    $post_data = $this->get_post();

    /** Item number */
    $i++;
    $item_content = '';
    $item_classes = array();
    $item_classes[] = 'ui--blog-item ui--animation ui--accent-gradient-hover-parent clearfix';

    $item_classes[] = 'layout--' . $raw_layout;

    if ( $i == $post_count )
        $item_classes[] = 'last-item'; 

    $item_content .= "<div".
        cloudfw_make_class( $item_classes, true ) .
        ">";

        $link_element = array();
        $link_element[0]  = "<a class=\"ui--blog-link\" href=\"". $post_data['permalink'] ."\"";
        $link_element[0] .= ">";
        $link_element[1]  = "</a>";

        $item_content .= $this->side( $post_data, $atts );

        $item_content .= "<div class=\"ui--blog-content-wrapper\">";

            $item_content .= "<div class=\"ui--blog-header\">";
                $item_content .= "<{$title_element} class=\"ui--blog-title\">" . $link_element[0] . $post_data['title'] . $link_element[1] . "</{$title_element}>";   

                $metas = $this->get_blog_metas( $metas_primary, $post_data );
                $likes = $this->get_blog_metas( $metas_secondary, $post_data );

            $item_content .= "</div>";

            $excerpt = $this->get_excerpt( array('readmore' => $readmore, 'excerpt' => $show_excerpt, 'excerpt_length' => $excerpt_length, 'use_more_link' => false ) );
            if ( !empty($excerpt)) {
                $item_content .= "<div class=\"ui--blog-content\">";
                    $item_content .= $excerpt;
                $item_content .= "</div>";
            }

            $item_content .= "<div class=\"ui--blog-readmore more-link\">";
                $item_content .= "<a class=\"btn btn-small ". cloudfw_make_button_style( cloudfw_get_option( 'blog_template_mini',  'button_color', 'btn-secondary muted' ), true ) . "\" href=\"". $post_data['permalink'] ."\"";
                $item_content .= ">";
                    $item_content .= $readmore;
                $item_content .= "</a>";
            $item_content .= "</div>";

        $item_content .= "</div>";

    $item_content .= "</div>";

    if ( $columns > 1 ) {
        $column_array = array();
        $column_array['class'] = array();
        $column_array['_key'] = 'blog_mini';

        //$content_out .= $item_content;
        $content_out .= cloudfw_UI_column( $column_array, $item_content, '1of' . $columns . ( $i % $columns == 0 ? '_last' : '' ), $i == $post_count );
    } else {
        $content_out .= $item_content;
    }

endwhile;

@hallianonline,

Cereal, have provided more than enough to solve your problem and if you need more please follow link below..

another one for you. The answer to your question is located about 3/4 down the page.

This is only an example and you may need to research the codex for other stuff related to this subject matter.

before this

while( $posts->have_posts() ) :

you need to set your arguments to something like ..;

$your_sort_requirements = array(

                            'order' => 'ASC',
                            'orderby' => 'whatever_you_want'.
                            ## define more here as you want
                            );


## and then you create an instance of the WP_query as mentioned on the codex.

$this_is_now_your_post_query = new WP_Query(  $your_sort_requirements);

since it is now your query, we can pretty much do this

if($this_is_now_your_post_query->have_posts()){

    while( $this_is_now_your_post_query->have_posts() ) : 

    ## do as what a good wordpress developer should do here..

    }
