Order By before Group By using Eloquent (Laravel)

Question

I have a \"messages\" table with the following columns

CREATE TABLE `messages` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `fromId` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `toId         


        

Answer 1

Try this query :

$chats = Message::with('sender','recipient')
->where('toId',$id)
->whereRaw('id IN (select MAX(id) FROM messages GROUP BY fromId)')
->orderBy('createdAt','desc')
->paginate(10)
