MySQL Database table
Rates:
Id
Name
1
$13.00
2
$20.00
3
$13.75
4
$15.00
5
$100.00
I'm trying to sort the data ASC to show on the dropdown, based on the data you can clearly understand that we can't sort the data by Id.
Here is the same code
$sorted = $rates;
foreach ($rates as $key => $data){
if(preg_match('/[a-z]/', $data['name'])){
unset($sorted[$key]);
$sorted[] = $data;
}
}
Result:
Dropdown
Expected Result:
$13.00
$13.75
$15.00
$100.00
Can you help me to figure this out?

Answer 1

You can try this:
$collection = collect([
['price' => '$13.00'],
['price' => '$12.00'],
['price' => '$15.00'],
]);
$sorted = $collection->sortBy('price');
dd($sorted);

Answer 2

it's very simple instead of sorting data in php, sort data when query table
first of all delete $ in name column and save data as float and change column data type to float
now you can feel sql power
if you want to run sql query manually use this query below
select * from Rates order by Name asc
if you want to use laravel eloquent use this code below
Rate::orderBy('Name','asc')->get();
for more information about order in mysql query see this or in laravel eloquent see this

Answer 3

Guessing ur using eloquent u can sort data when getting it from databse with orderBy
$query = Model::class('params')->orderBy('name', 'asc')->get();
Then when u do #foreach for printing it would be ID for the one with lowest price up until highest, and u dont have to deal with collections.
There is no need to delete your $ sign and change your data structure.
