laravel 4: order object in template - php

Question

I'm trying to order the tests for each user in descending order of created_at. I tried it in the template but I didn't succeed. These are my tables:
| users | | courses | | tests |
| ---------- | |------------| |------------|
| id | | id | | id |
| name | | name | | name |
| created_at | | created_at | | created_at |
| user_id | | course_id |
A user has many courses and a course has many tests. I'll like to order all the tests in descending order of created_at.
I tried this in my template:
#foreach(User::find($user->id)->courses as $course)
#foreach(Course::find($course->id)->tests as $test)
<p>Name: {{$test->name}}</p>
<p>Date: {{$test->created_at}}</p>
#endforeach
#endforeach
Edit: There are my models
User.php
public function courses()
{
return $this->hasMany('Course');
}
Course.php
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User');
}
public function test()
{
return $this->hasMany('Test');
}
Test.php
public function courses()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Course');
}

Answer 1

You may try this, do it in your Controller:
$users = User::with(array('courses.tests' => function($query) {
$query->orderBy('tests.created_at', 'desc');
}))->find($user->id);
Then load the view and pass the $user object like this:
return View::make('your_view_name')->withuser($user);
Then in your view try something like this:
#foreach($user->courses->tests as $test)
<p>Name: {{ $test->name }}</p>
<p>Date: {{ $test->created_at }}</p>
#endforeach

Answer 2

You could simply add the orderBy command to your query, like:
#foreach($user->courses as $course)
#foreach($course->tests()->orderBy('created_at', DESC)->get() as $test)
<p>Name: {{$test->name}}</p>
<p>Date: {{$test->created_at}}</p>
#endforeach
#endforeach
Look that it's not a good practice to make queries in the views, so I changed your query in some variables you should be setting in your controller.
Also change test() method to tests(), because it's a one-to-many relation, and it's clearer to have plurals as method name.
