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

I built a mini Laravel package that can add default orderBy in your Eloquent model.

Using the DefaultOrderBy trait of this package, you can set the default column you want to orderBy.

use Stephenjude/DefaultModelSorting/Traits/DefaultOrderBy;

class Article extends Model
{
    use DefaultOrderBy;

    protected static $orderByColumn = 'title';
}

You can also set the default orderBy direction by setting the $orderByColumnDirection property.

protected static $orderByColumnDirection = 'desc';
