Laravel 5.2 - Eloquent - How to order database SELECT results by multiple columns
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chain together using orderBy with the columns being sorted in the order they are chained, as in the example line below:

$contents = ModelName::orderBy('columnA', 'asc')->orderBy('columnB', 'desc')->get();

If $contents is returned to the view now, all rows of the table will be sorted first according to the ascending values of
columnA, followed by a second sort of the desc values of column B.
