A PHP package by Spatie that adds sortable behaviour to Laravel Eloquent models via a trait. It maintains an order column on records and provides a query scope to fetch records in the correct order.

Use cases

• make eloquent models sortable with drag-and-drop ordering
• maintain an order column for laravel model records
• fetch records in a custom sort order in laravel
• reorder database rows in a laravel app
• add sort position to eloquent models automatically

When to choose

• you use Laravel Eloquent and need ordered records
• you want a simple trait-based solution for model ordering
• you need a query scope to retrieve models in sort order

When to avoid

• you don't use Laravel or Eloquent
• you need complex nested or tree-based ordering
• you need frontend drag-and-drop UI (this only handles the backend ordering)
