Quick Tip

Filter by many-to-many relationship pivot column

If you have a many-to-many relationship, and you add an extra column to the pivot table, here's how you can order by it when querying the list.

class Tournament extends Model
{
public function countries()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Country::class)->withPivot(['position']);
}
}
class TournamentsController extends Controller
{
public function whatever_method() {
$tournaments = Tournament::with(['countries' => function($query) {
$query->orderBy('position');
}])->latest()->get();
}
}
