Laravel 9 - Quick Order by created_at

Instead of:

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

You can do it by this:

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

By default, latest() will order by created_at.

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

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

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

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