Sort collecttion by date DESC using Laravel and Collection












0















I have a collection where I am ordering the "total" value in a descending way. When the "total" values are the same, I must order the items by descending date.



$collection->sortByDesc('total');


To sort the elements by descending date when the totals are equal, I have used sort and sortByDesc but the elements are still not sorted.



//First method
$collection->sortByDesc('created_at')->sortByDesc('total');

//Second method
$collection->->sort(function($a, $b){
if($a->total === $b->total)
{
return strtotime($a->created_at) - strtotime($b->created_at);
}
})->sortByDesc('total');


Neither option works for me and I still have the same result:



enter image description here



When the result should be the following (items ordered by descent date when the total values are equal):



enter image description here



What am I doing wrong? Cheerz.



PS: It does not help me to sort by "total" and then by "date" since the "total" value is the one that should be a priority.

sortByDesc will override the sorting you've done in your sort function.



Also, strtotime($a->created_at) - strtotime($b->created_at) will order the dates in ascending order not descending order.



The following should give you what you're after:



$collection->sort(function ($a, $b) {
if ($a->total === $b->total) {
return strtotime($a->created_at) < strtotime($b->created_at);
}

return $a->total < $b->total;
});


Lastly, assuming that created_at and updated_at are Carbon instances you shouldn't need to use strtotime:



$a->created_at < $b->created_at
