My problem is that I have my collection that has a position field and I want it to be sorted in ascending order, but the fields that have the value null or 0 by default are detected as smaller than those that have an index.
My question is how can I make orderBy ignore the value 0 or null.
$listing = Product::get();
$listing = $listing->orderBy('order','ASC');
CodePudding user response:
You could use CASE
in your orderBy as a hack to "ignore" 0 (place it last).
$listing = Product::query()
->orderByRaw('CASE WHEN "order" = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END DESC, "order" ASC')
->get();
You can also split it if you prefer.
$listing = Product::query()
->orderByRaw('CASE WHEN "order" = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END DESC')
->orderBy('order')
->get();
$listing = Product::query()
->orderByDesc(DB::raw('CASE WHEN "order" = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END'))
->orderBy('order')
->get();
CodePudding user response:
$listing = Product::orderByRaw('-order DESC')->get();
There is a minus sign before the column.
Instead of asc
, we are now sorting as desc
, this is because we have inverted the values in #2 and so the sorting must also be inverted now to get the right results.
this working fine for me.
