如何在Laravel 4中使用多列的排序依据？

Question

I want to sort multiple columns in Laravel 4 by using the method orderBy() in Laravel Eloquent. The query will be generated using Eloquent like this:

SELECT *
FROM mytable
ORDER BY
  coloumn1 DESC, coloumn2 ASC

How can I do this?

Simply invoke orderBy() as many times as you need it. For instance:

User::orderBy('name', 'DESC')
    ->orderBy('email', 'ASC')
    ->get();

Produces the following query:

SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY `name` DESC, `email` ASC
