How to order by value when i get results in array? - laravel

Question

I get all tags and its look like this :
"testeng" => 0
"testeng1" => 5
So what i want to do is order this by value so that first one is this with value 5. Any suggestion how can i do this?
$tags = ATags::with('articles')->whereHas('language',function($query) use($current_language_id){
$query->where('id','=',$current_language_id);
})->get();
$count_tag = [];
foreach($tags as $tag){
$count_tag[$tag->name] = $tag->articles->count();
}

Answer 1

You can use arsort() as:
arsort($count_tag)
arsort — Sort an array in reverse order and maintain index association
OR
You can use withCount to sort the result directly in query as:
$tags = ATags::with('articles')
->whereHas('language',function($query) use($current_language_id){
$query->where('id','=',$current_language_id);
})
->withCount('articles')
->orderBy('articles_count', 'desc')
->take(5)
->get();
From the docs
If you want to count the number of results from a relationship without
actually loading them you may use the withCount method, which will
place a {relation}_count column on your resulting models.

Answer 2

You can use Collection's sortBy or sortByDesc & count methods to sort your results like this:
$tags = ATags::with('articles')->whereHas('language',function($query) use($current_language_id) {
$query->where('id','=',$current_language_id);
})
->get()
->sortByDesc(function($tag) { // <---- sorting it via article's count
return $tag->articles->count();
})
->take(5); // <----- fetch largest 5 from collection
You can pass a closure method to sortBy or sortByDesc collection's methods to manipulate your results.
