Blogs/
Blogs/section
Blogs/category
Controller :
public function index($section= '', $category= '', Request $request)
{
}
When i pass second para controller take it as first ( section )

Answer 1

The only way you could do this is to check if the input matches a section or category and then call the right controller.
For example:
Route::get('blogs/{slug}', function ($slug) {
// Check if this is a section
if (SectionModel::where('slug', $slug)->first()) {
return \App::call('\App\Http\Controllers\Sections#index');
}
// Check if this is a category
if (CategoryModel::where('slug', $slug)->first()) {
return \App::call('\App\Http\Controllers\Categories#index');
}
// Section or category doesn't exist
abort(404);
});

Answer 2

The order matters. Use this instead:
Route::get('blogs/{section?}/{category?}', 'Blogs#index');
Route::get('blogs', 'Blogs#index')->name('blogs');
UPDATE:
Why not pass as GET parameter the things that you are looking for? Doing so, you just need to check inside the index() function if you have any of them, and act according to them:
Route::get('blogs', 'Blogs#index')->name('blogs');
example:
Blogs?section=any-section&category=any-category
Controller:
public function index(Request $request): Response
{
if ($request->section) {/**/}
if ($request->category) {/**/}
// ...
}
