This question goes with the one above – I tried using the “by” method to sort some posts by a custom field, and it worked great using this syntax:
foreach ($user->posts()->by(“reservation_fields.reservation_date”) as $reservation) { … }

However, is is possible to use that with a “DESC” order? This didn’t work:
foreach ($user->posts()->by(“reservation_fields.reservation_date DESC”) as $reservation) { … }

** Nevermind this one, I guessed and figured out that this is the proper syntax:

foreach ($user->posts()->by(“reservation_fields.reservation_date”, “DESC”) as $reservation) { … }

Testament to the intuitiveness of this framework!

Next question: How to make it order by a field numerically.

Perhaps this is documented somewhere? I couldn’t find it in the docs.
