Order Column

In some cases, you may want to use a custom order sql for a specific column. To achieve this, you can use orderColumn api.

{tip} Order column has a special variable $1 which is being replace as the order direction value of the request.

In this example, we will order the column name with nulls as last result.

use DataTables;
 
Route::get('user-data', function() {
    $model = App\User::query();
 
    return DataTables::eloquent($model)
                ->orderColumn('name', '-name $1')
                ->toJson();
});
