Laravel
To sort a collection of data in Laravel by a string that represents AM/PM time, you can use the sortBy method and a custom sorting function. Here's an example:
$times = collect(["10:00 PM", "9:00 AM", "12:00 PM", "1:00 AM"]);
$sortedTimes = $times->sortBy(function ($time) {
$parts = explode(" ", $time);
$hour = intval($parts[0]);
$minute = intval(explode(":", $parts[0])[1]);
$ampm = $parts[1];
if ($ampm === "PM") {
$hour += 12;
}
return sprintf("%02d:%02d", $hour, $minute);
});
return $sortedTimes;
This will return a sorted collection of times, such as:
["1:00 AM", "9:00 AM", "12:00 PM", "10:00 PM"]
