Ordering events based on column

[Eli-Pez]

Hello! I would like to daily order the events on my calendar based on the column "livello" of the model. This column is an integer and I show it in every event. For every day of the calendar I would like to see the events ordered by this number (1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ecc.). Anybody got any ideas?

Hi there, sorry for the late reply.

The events are ordered by start time on the calendar, but you're not forced to show the start time.
So if only the day is relevant, you could abuse the time field to force an ordering of your choice.

I think this should work; implement the customizeEvent method in your CalendarController as follows:

protected function customizeEvent(Event $event) : Event
{
    if($event->model()) {
        $event->hideTime()
              ->withStart($event->start()->setTime(12, $event->model()->livello));
    }

    return $event;
}

This might be overly safe; you could skip the if($event->model()) check if your event generator already guarantees that each calendar event has an underlying Eloquent model.
