Laravel & Ardent - orderBy in $relationsData

Question

In Eloquent, you can do this:

public function children() {
    return $this->hasMany('page');
}

And in Ardent, you can do this:

public static $relationsData = [
    'children' => [self::HAS_MANY, 'Page'],
];

---

In Eloquent, you can also do this:

public function children() {
    return $this->hasMany('page')->orderBy('sort_order', 'desc');
}

Is there any way to do that, or get the same effect as that in Ardent?

I really like the short Ardent notation, but don't want to have to call $page->children->ordered() with a scope just to order them, as they'll need to be ordered every single time it's called anyway.

Answer 1

As it turns out, it's just not possible. You need the full definition if you want to do anything more than the basic relation functionality.
