Laravel- arranging records in ascending and descending order - php

Question

I have a create method in my controller
public function create()
{
$image = PropertyUser::where('user_id', '=', Auth::user()->id)->get();
foreach($image as $property)
{
$id = $property->property_id;
}
$image_main = Image::where('property_id', $id)->get();
return view('settings.photos', ['image_array' => $image_main]);
}
This is my photos.blade file
<form name="asc" action="{{route("settings.photos")}}" method="post" class="text-center">
#csrf
<input type="submit" value="Ascending " class="settings-photos-header2 text-center"/> |
</form><form name="dec" action="{{route("settings.photos")}}" method="post" class="text-center">
#csrf
<input type="submit" value= " Descending" class="settings-photos-header2 text-center"/>
</form>
<h2 class="settings-photos-header2 text-center">Photo Gallery</h2>
#foreach ($image_array as $images)
<div class="image-warp"><img src="{{$images->filename}}"
style="width:100px;height:100px;"><br/><span style="color: #1b1e21">{{$images->description}}</span>
</form>
</div>
#endforeach
Question- How can i make the asc button sort the images in ascending order and des in descending order, is there a way to connect it to my controller, or is there a way to sort them in ascending and descending order through any other means?

Answer 1

There are many ways you can achieve the sorting issue but as you have setup your page let me tell you the way you can sort records. Create another action which point to your settings.photos route
public function settings_photos($property_id) {
$form = Input::get('submit');
$orderBy = $form == "Ascending" ? "asc" : "desc";
# Fetch Images in of Specific Property
$list_of_images = Image::where('property_id', $property_id)
# Order by Asc/Desc
->sortBy('id', $orderBy)->get();
return view('settings.photos', ['image_array' => $list_of_images]); }
Now add Image->id to pass in your controller action by form

<form name="asc" action="{{route("settings.photos")}}" method="post" class="text-center">
#csrf
<input type="image_id" value="{{$id}}" />
<input type="submit" value="Ascending " class="settings-photos-header2 text-center"/> |
</form>
<form name="dec" action="{{route("settings.photos")}}" method="post" class="text-center">
#csrf
<input type="image_id" value="{{$id}}" />
<input type="submit" value="Descending" class="settings-photos-header2 text-center"/>
</form>
Now make some changes to your previous Controller code
public function create()
{
$image = PropertyUser::where('user_id', '=', Auth::user()->id)->get();
foreach($image as $property)
{
$id = $property->property_id;
}
$image_main = Image::where('property_id', $id)->get();
return view('settings.photos', ['image_array' => $image_main, 'id' => $id]);
}
As I told you there are various way to sort records even by Ajax but I suggest you using your code example. I also did not optimize the code.
Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks
