Sort two Laravel objects in the correct order -

i have 2 eloquent objects want "merge" speak.

i dont know if merging best approach please come suggestions.

$customer = customer::find($customerid);  $events = $customer->events()->unfinished()->orderby('created_at', 'asc')->get();  $notes = $customer->notes()->orderby('created_at', 'asc')->get(); 

events() hasmany = $customer->hasmany('events');

unfinished() scope = $query->where('status', '=', '0');

notes() hasmany = $customer->hasmany('notes');

i want merge $events , $notes can loop through these created_at falling correct order.

lets $notes contains 2 posts:

note 1     created_at: 2013-01-30 00:00:00 note 2     created_at: 2014-12-31 00:00:00 

and $events contains 2 posts:

event 1     created_at: 2014-02-01 00:00:00 event 2     created_at: 2014-01-02 00:00:00 

i want them falling this:

event 1     created_at: 2014-02-01 00:00:00 note 1     created_at: 2013-01-30 00:00:00 event 2     created_at: 2014-01-02 00:00:00 note 2     created_at: 2014-12-31 00:00:00 

how best approach this?

union dident work unless 2 tables has same columns. did found answer: http://laravel.com/api/source-class-illuminate.support.collection.html#299-319

$customer = customer::find($customerid);  $events = $customer->events()->unfinished()->get();  $notes = $customer->notes()->get();  $combined = $events->merge($notes); 

edit: , sort combined collection:

$combined = $combined ->sortby(function($sort){     return $sort->created_at; })->reverse();
