Laravel MySQL orderBy count

Question

I\'m using Laravel and MySQL, and I have a table post that represents post where users can comment on it, now I wanna order posts by the number of comments of each post

Answer 1

I think I've come up with a workaround:

$posts = Post::with('comments')->get()->sortBy(function($post) {
    return $post->comments->count();
});

This one order by the number of comments ascendingly, if you want to order by it descendingly, do this:

$posts = Post::with('comments')->get()->sortBy(function($post) {
    return $post->comments->count();
})->reverse();
