Eloquent Relationships – with “automatic” orderBy

Eloquent Relationships – with “automatic” orderBy

Should we add orderBy in every query? No, we can define that in relationship itself.
Our usual Eloquent relationship looks something like this:

class Category extends Model
{
    public function products()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Product');
    }
}
So here’s what we should do to automatically order products by title in every query that uses this relationship:

    public function products()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Product')->orderBy('name');
    }
That’s it, everything is “in order” now!
