This is the documentation for v4. You can switch versions in the menu on the left/at the top. Check your current version with the following command:


                            composer show spatie/laravel-tags

Sorting tags

Name: Spatie
Address: Kruikstraat 22 bus 12, Antwerp, Antwerp, 2060, Belgium
Telephone: +32 3 292 56 79

Whenever a tag is created its order_column will be set the highest value in that column + 1

Under the hood spatie/eloquent-sortable is used, so you can use any model provided by that package. Here are some examples:

//get all tags sorted on `order_column`
$orderedTags = Tag::ordered()->get(); 

//set a new order entirely
Tag::setNewOrder($arrayWithTagIds);

$myModel->moveOrderUp();
$myModel->moveOrderDown();

//let's grab a Tag instance
$tag = $orderedTags->first();

//move the tag to the first or last position
$tag->moveToStart();
$tag->moveToEnd();

$tag->swapOrder($anotherTag);

Of course you can also manually change the value of the order_column.

$tag->order_column = 10;
$tag->save();
