Is there a way of stylising a CMS collection in grid instead of it just piling up left/right or up/down. I have a finalised style i would like for the page but not sure how to get the information from a cms collection on there.

Im not sure I understand the question - are you asking if you can apply the display: grid setting to CMS items? If so, then yes. Just go to the CMS Collection List item inside the Collection list. Here you can change the display settings to Grid.
I understand you can do that to an item. However I want to do it to the list it self but, the items will just collate left to right then stack downwards. If you see the page linked, the design is a little scattered and not every blog post title has an image behind it.
Ahh, I see now. To accomplish this effect with CMS, I’d probably create multiple CMS collections, then use a parent grid to style them in the position you want. Use the “Limit/Start at” filter to show the correct items.
There might be a more advanced grid-styling system using CSS, I’m not quite sure about that though.
oh yeas i see what you mean.
I have tested that and it works great, thank you for helping. Is there away of changing the order in the CMS. for example if limit is 1 and is set at 1. what controls that CMS item being “1” can I change that to date? I am guessing as a default it is the item ID.
That’s great! So without assigning any sorting in the settings panel, the default “1” will likely be the latest one created. If you want to arrange by date published/edited/created/etc… or alphabetically by name, you can do so by adding a sorting filter.
If you wanted a custom order, you could also create an additional CMS collection called Ranking, then assign to your original CMS item with a reference field
