Answer 1

In Laravel 5.2 or higher just call orderByRaw. You even able to sort through aggregated value rather than a column. In the following example max_st can be null if there is no submodels.

Model::where('act', '2')
    ->leftJoin('submodels', 'model.id', '=', 'submodels.model_id')
    ->select('models.*', DB::raw('MAX(submodels.st) as max_st')),
    ->orderByRaw('max_st DESC NULLS LAST');
