Mendeleev used the analogy of playing the card game of solitaire to help him organize the known elements into a Periodic Table. The suits of the cards were analogous to the groups of the elements and the numeric values of the cards were analogous to the values of atomic weights.

Mendeleev's cards contained information about the atomic mass, chemical properties, and behavior of each element. He also organized the cards in a way that allowed him to determine patterns and relationships between different elements. This led to the development of the periodic table of elements.
Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian scientist. He arranged cards in atomic weight order and noticed patterns (periods). This resulted in him being able to guess which elements were missing and complete the periodic table.
The groupings in the periodic table have some simalarities with the card game solitare. All the elements with similar properties are grouped in a vertical group, just as in solitare all cards of the same suit are arranged in a vertical group.
The chemical properties of matter are mainly determined by the electrons in the outermost orbital shell. The exceptions to this occur in e.g. the Lanthanides and the Actinides, where as a group, the outermost shell of each is equally filled, and it is the number of electrons in the next innermost shell that now comes into play. Hence their very similar chemistry.Similar considerations apply to both the columns and the rows of the periodic table, where those the elements share somewhat similar properties.Mendeleev, by arranging a set of cards, each representing one element and its properties, was able to arrange the cards to form his periodic table, and thus predict where new elements could be found. His predictions also pointed to where elements had been incorrectly placed.

Dmitri Mendeleev decided to arrange his cards by organizing elements with similar properties into groups and leaving gaps for undiscovered elements. He then ordered the groups by increasing atomic weight, which led him to identify patterns and create the periodic table of elements.
Oh, dude, Mendeleev arranged his cards by organizing them based on atomic mass and properties, creating the periodic table. Like, he was just like, "Hmm, let's put these elements in order and see what happens." And voilà, the periodic table was born.
Dmitri Mendeleev is credited with developing the periodic table in a form close to its modern version. He arranged the elements based on their properties and left gaps for undiscovered elements, predicting their properties accurately. This work was inspired by his experience organizing playing cards into sets.

He Decide to go from smallest atomic number to largest atomic number.
Mendeleev wrote key properties of different elements on note cards, including atomic mass, reactivity, and physical characteristics. He arranged these cards based on similarities, eventually leading to the creation of the periodic table.

The story goes.... In the search for the relationship between the known elements, Dmetri Mendeleev's devised a card game made of elements; sort of like 'elemental solitaire'. In this game, each card had one element written on it with its atomic weight. He spent 2 sleepless days attempting to find a relationship by grouping the cards together on the table. On the third day there was a snow storm and Mendeleev's decided to stay home. Although restless he eventually fell asleep in which he dreamed a scientific breakthrough. In this dream he saw the elements arranged in a table and they were grouped together by various properties. When he awoke, he attempted to group the known elements in this manner and noticed that in order for this arrangement to work, he needed to leave spaces or gaps for other elements. Therefore, he also discovered that there were many other elements needed to be discovered.
Mendeleev arranged the elements by their relative atomic mass. Each one of his rows began with an element that had 1 valency and ended it with inert gas elements. The creator of the Periodic Table, Dimitri Mendeleev, arranged the elements by atomic number (amount of electrons) and amount of electron shells. This then lead to columns (groups) of elements with the same amount of electrons in their outer shell. So, now, every period contains elements with ascending atomic numbers. Every group contains elements with ascending amounts of electron shells.
