Example 1: Laravel Collection Sort By Desc Simple Example

public function index()
{
    $collection = collect([
        ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Hardik', 'email' => 'hardik@gmail.com'],

Example 2: Laravel Collection Sort By Desc Count

public function index()
{
    $collection = collect([
            ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Vivo', 'models' => ['v11', 'v85']],
            ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Appo', 'models' => ['a23']],
