Datatable Order By

#1

In the screencast series “Building Data Tables”, the default order by appears to be ‘id’. Can someone provide guidance regarding how to set the order by to a different field (e.g.; name) in the controller?

#2

Can you provide an example?

#3

I can accomplish default ordering with a global scope on the model (as below), but was trying to figure out how to accomplish the same thing in the Livewire controller. I am probably overthinking it so will just go with the global scope.

protected static function boot()
{
    parent::boot();

    // Order by name ASC
    static::addGlobalScope('order', function (Builder $builder) {
        $builder->orderBy('name', 'asc');
    });
}
