if condition in laravel according to database columns - laravel-5

Question

I have a day column in a database and I want to display the other columns according to the day.
#foreach($specialism as $item)
#if($item->day ==="saturday")
<td>
<a class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" href="{{url('button',['id'=>$item->id])}}">
{{$item->name}}<br>
{{$item->day}}<br>
{{$item->from}}<br>
{{$item->to}}
</a>
</td>
#elseif($item->day === "sunday")
<td>
<a class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" href="{{url('button',['id'=>$item->id])}}">
{{$item->name}}<br>
{{$item->day}}<br>
{{$item->from}}<br>
{{$item->to}}
</a>
</td>
#elseif($item->day === "monday")
<td>
<a class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" href="{{url('button',['id'=>$item->id])}}">
{{$item->name}}<br>
{{$item->day}}<br>
{{$item->from}}<br>
{{$item->to}}
</a>
</td>
But it doesn't work. What's the problem??

Answer 1

You should sort the data before you get to the foreach loop and then just echo out the html.
If you use a date field with a carbon instances you also have a nummeric representation of the weekday so you could use that, like:
$collection->sortBy(function($a, $b){
return $a->date->day <=> $b->date->day; // date === carbon instance
});
If you only have a string representation you should get the weekday number by using either Carbon or PHP date, strtotime or DateTime and generate the number.
