A simple handy package to sort query collections.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require creativecrafts/laravel-sort-collection
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="sort-collection-config"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
  /**
     * The default sort direction to use when sorting a collection.
     * supported: asc, desc
     */
    'sort_direction' => 'desc',
];
```

Optionally, you can publish the views using

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use CreativeCrafts\SortCollection\Sort;
// simple collection example
$collection = collect([
     ['name' => 'John', 'age' => 30],
     ['name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 25],
     ['name' => 'Jack', 'age' => 40],
]);
$sortKey = 'age'; // string
$sortDirection = 'desc'; // string
$sortedCollection = Sort::collection($collection, $sortKey, $sortDirection);
// Sort direction is optional, it will use the default sort direction from the config file if not provided(by default it is desc)

// output:
[
          ['name' => 'John', 'age' => 40],
          ['name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 30],
          ['name' => 'Jack', 'age' => 25],
 ]

// eloquent example
// This is useful when you have encrypted fields in your model. Querying the model will decrypt the fields,
// then you can sort the collection using Sort::collection() method.
// Sort direction is optional, it will use the default sort direction from the config file if not provided(by default it is desc)

$query = User::query()
            ->select('name', 'age')
            ->get();

$sortKey = 'age'; // string
$sortDirection = 'asc'; // string
$sortedCollection = Sort::collection($collection, $sortKey, $sortDirection);

//output:
[
          ['name' => 'Jack', 'age' => 25],
          ['name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 30],
          ['name' => 'John', 'age' => 40],
 ]
```

```
You can also retrieve the default sort direction from the config file.
use CreativeCrafts\SortCollection\Sort;

Sort::getDefaultSortDirection()
```
