Laravel 4: how to "order by" using Eloquent ORM [duplicate]

If you are using post as a model (without dependency injection), you can also do:

$posts = Post::orderBy('id', 'DESC')->get();

php laravel laravel-4 eloquent

If you are using the Eloquent ORM you should consider using scopes. This would keep your logic in the model where it belongs.

So, in the model you would have:

public function scopeIdDescending($query){        return $query->orderBy('id','DESC');}

And outside the model you would have:

$posts = Post::idDescending()->get();

php laravel laravel-4 eloquent

This is how I would go about it.

$posts = $this->post->orderBy('id', 'DESC')->get();
