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(); }}
