Laravel default orderBy

Question

Is there a clean way to enable certain models to be ordered by a property by default? It could work by extending the laravel\'s QueryBuilder, but to do so,

Answer 1

you should use eloquent global scope that can apply to all queries(also you can set parameter for it).

And for relations you can use this useful trick:

class Category extends Model {
    public function posts(){
        return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Post')->orderBy('title');
    }
}

this will add order by to all posts when we get them from a category. If you add an order by to your query, this default order by will cancel!
