Quick Order by created_at

Instead of:

1User::orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

You can do it quicker:

1User::latest()->get();

By default, latest() will order by created_at.

There is an opposite method oldest() which would order by created_at ascending:

1User::oldest()->get();

Also, you can specify another column to order by. For example, if you want to use updated_at, you can do this:

1$lastUpdatedUser = User::latest('updated_at')->first();
