Laravel Model Eager loading and ordering

laravel, laravel-3, php

Solution

I manage to solve it by:

$posts = Post::with('author')->order_by('id', 'desc')->get();

Problem

I'm new to Laravel and thought it be cool to purchase the Codehappy ebook by Dayle Rees. I just finished the blog tutorial and thought a bit on how he retrieved the posts from the Post model. Coming from a .net (ASP.NET MVC) background I think it will be important to order the posts while eager loading the author. He eager loads the model like this. ``` $posts = Post::with('author')->get(); ``` My question is where can you use the "order_by" clause? the order_by itself works when I use: ``` $posts = Post::order_by('id', 'desc')->get(); ``` Regards RaVen
