Using Nova::sortResourcesBy

NovaServiceProvider.php

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Laravel\Nova\Nova;
use Laravel\Nova\Cards\Help;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
use Laravel\Nova\NovaApplicationServiceProvider;

class NovaServiceProvider extends NovaApplicationServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
    }

    /**
     * Register the Nova routes.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function routes()
    {
        Nova::routes()
                ->withAuthenticationRoutes()
                ->withPasswordResetRoutes()
                ->register();
    }

    /**
     * Register the Nova gate.
     *
     * This gate determines who can access Nova in non-local environments.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function gate()
    {
        Gate::define('viewNova', function ($user) {
            return in_array($user->email, [
                '[email protected]',
            ]);
        });
    }

    /**
     * Get the cards that should be displayed on the Nova dashboard.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function cards()
    {
        return [
            new Help,
        ];
    }

    /**
     * Get the tools that should be listed in the Nova sidebar.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function tools()
    {
        return [];
    }

    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        Nova::sortResourcesBy(function ($resource) {
            return $resource::$priority ?? 99999;
        });
    }
}

User.php

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

class User extends Resource
{
    /**
     * The model the resource corresponds to.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public static $model = 'App\\User';

    /**
     * Custom priority level of the resource.
     *
     * @var int
     */
    public static $priority = 1;

    // ...
}

This not work for groups
A possible solution is prepend a number in all group name functions like:

public static function group(){
    return "1. First Group";
}

I came here from this Stack post where people seems to have lifted the info: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53405577/laravel-nova-reorder-left-navigation-menu-items

Nice to see a gist by a Laravel employee

What I would like to know is also how to arrange groups.

@trippo i have tried your solution but when i came to the group 10 it does not sort correctly,
do you have any other solution.
