php - How to generate individual sorted pagination links in Laravel 4? -

the pagination documentation has info on how add sorting paginated links data:

<?php echo $orders->appends(array('sort' => 'name', 'sort_dir'=>'asc'))->links(); 

to generate links this:

http://example.com/something?page=2&sort=name&sort_dir=asc 

so have table headers , values , series of paginated links can click. let's wanted change headers clickable links allowed sort header. how generate url?

for example, lets our current url said above:

http://example.com/something?page=2&sort=name&sort_dir=asc 

and wanted click "name" table header in order change sorting direction. url want is:

http://example.com/something?page=2&sort=name&sort_dir=desc 

i have controller called : admincontroller.php method used:

    public function getadmins() {   // cache sorting inputs $allowed = array('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'activated', 'crated_at'); // add allowable columns search on $sort = in_array(input::get('sort'), $allowed) ? input::get('sort') : 'first_name'; // if user type in url column doesnt exist app default first_name $order = input::get('order') === 'asc' ? 'asc' : 'desc'; // default desc $action = null; // select admins group = 1 $admins = db::table('users')      ->join('users_roles', 'users.id', '=', 'users_roles.user_id')      ->where('users_roles.role_id', '=' ,0)     ->orderby($sort, $order)     ->paginate($this->perpage);  // check actions if (!is_null(input::get('action')))      {              $action = input::get('action');              if ($action == "add")             {                 $this->layout->content = view::make('admin.admins-add');             }      }     else     {          // current counter admin counts         $counter = $admins->getfrom();         view::share('counter', $counter);         view::share('sort', $sort);         view::share('order', $order);          // share admin template         view::share('admins', $admins);          $this->layout->content = view::make('admin.admins');     }     }

this how params:

$params = request::except(['sort','sort_dir']); $sort_dir = (request::get('sort_dir') == 'asc') ? 'desc' : 'asc'; $sort = 'whataveryourcolumnis';  $attributes = array_merge(['sort' => $sort, 'sort_dir' => $sort_dir], $params);  // , link example: link_to_action('adminscontroller@getindex', 'columnname', $attributes);
