Laravel OrderBy relationship count

Question

I\'m trying to get the most popular hackathons which requires ordering by the respective hackathon\'s partipants->count(). Sorry if that\'s a little difficul

Answer 1

Another approach can be by using withCount() method.

Hackathon::withCount('participants')
        ->orderBy('participants_count', 'desc')
        ->paginate(50);
