sort()

The sort method sorts the collection. The sorted collection keeps the original array keys, so in the following example we will use the values method to reset the keys to consecutively numbered indexes:

$collection = collect([5, 3, 1, 2, 4]);$sorted = $collection->sort();$sorted->values()->all();// [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

sortBy()

The sortBy method allow you to sort by specific key in collections.

$collection = collect([  ['name' => 'Item A', 'price' => 200],  ['name' => 'Item B', 'price' => 100],  ['name' => 'Item C', 'price' => 150],]);$sorted =
