Method orderBy does not exist in Laravel Eloquent?

Question

I have a piece of code like this:

$products = Product::all()

if ($search_value) {
    $products = $products->where(\'name\', \'LIKE\', \"%$search_value%\         


        

Answer 1

You're trying to use orderBy() method on Eloquent collection. Try to use sortByDesc() instead.

Alternatively, you could change $products = Product::all(); to $products = new Product();. Then all your code will work as you expect.
