How to return data in descending order in YII2 ActiveController?

Question

How to return data in descending order in YII2 ActiveController? Please help me. The JSON response returned from activecontroller must be in descending order by news_id.

 <?php
    namespace app\api\modules\v1\controllers;
    use yii\web\Response;
    use yii\rest\ActiveController;

    class NewsController extends ActiveController {
      // We are using the regular web app modules:
      public $modelClass = 'app\models\News';
    }

This the news model

 <?php

    namespace app\models;

    use Yii;
    class News extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
    {

        public static function tableName()
        {
            return 'news';
        }


        public function rules()
        {
            return [
                [['news_title', 'news_description', 'news_link'], 'required'],
                [['news_description', 'news_link'], 'string'],
                [['news_time'], 'safe'],
                [['news_title'], 'string', 'max' => 255],
            ];
        }


        public function attributeLabels()
        {
            return [
                'news_id' => 'News ID',
                'news_title' => 'News Title',
                'news_description' => 'News Description',
                'news_link' => 'News Link',
                'news_time' => 'News Time',
            ];
        }
    }
