You can do as @rmobis has specified in his answer, [Adding something more into it]
Using order by twice:
MyTable::orderBy('coloumn1', 'DESC')
->orderBy('coloumn2', 'ASC')
->get();
and the second way to do it is,
Using raw order by:
MyTable::orderByRaw("coloumn1 DESC, coloumn2 ASC");
->get();
Both will produce same query as follow,
SELECT * FROM `my_tables` ORDER BY `coloumn1` DESC, `coloumn2` ASC
As @rmobis specified in comment of first answer you can pass like an array to order by column like this,
$myTable->orders = array(
array('column' => 'coloumn1', 'direction' => 'desc'),
array('column' => 'coloumn2', 'direction' => 'asc')
);
one more way to do it is iterate in loop,
$query = DB::table('my_tables');
foreach ($request->get('order_by_columns') as $column => $direction) {
$query->orderBy($column, $direction);
}
$results = $query->get();
Hope it helps :)
