How can I get the earliest created_at date when using groupBy in an eloquent statement?



I have a table with the following:



| id | name   | email   | created_at          |
|----|--------|---------|---------------------|
| 1 | test | 1@1.com | 2018-01-01 09:00:00 |
| 2 | test | 1@1.com | 2018-01-02 09:00:00 |
| 3 | test 2 | 2@2.com | 2018-01-02 09:00:00 |
| 4 | test 2 | 2@2.com | 2018-01-03 09:00:00 |
| 5 | test | 1@1.com | 2018-01-03 09:00:00 |
| 6 | test | 1@1.com | 2018-01-04 09:00:00 |
| 7 | test | 1@1.com | 2018-01-05 09:00:00 |
| 8 | test 3 | 3@3.com | 2018-01-06 09:00:00 |
| 9 | test 3 | 3@3.com | 2018-01-07 09:00:00 |


when running the following query:



Customers::OrderBy('created_at', 'desc')->groupBy('email')->paginate('5');


I was expecting to get the results in the following order:



Test 3 (created: 2018-01-07)
Test (created: 2018-01-05)
Test 2 (created: 2018-01-03)


But instead I am getting so it doesn't look like it's respecting the OrderBy



Test 3 (created: 2018-01-06)
Test 2 (created: 2018-01-02)
Test (created: 2018-01-01)


Here is the SQL fiddle

# EDIT - Answer based on response

Thanks to Nesku, finally query to get this working was:



 return DB::table('customers')
->select(DB::raw('email, max(created_at)'))
->groupBy('email')
->orderBy('max(created_at)', 'desc')
->get();

          You can't order by created_at because it contains multiples values, you can however take the max of created_at for each email and order by that.



          The SQL query would look like this :



          SELECT email, max(created_at)
          FROM `customers`
          GROUP BY email
          ORDER BY max(created_at) DESC

          You can't order by created_at because it contains multiples values, you can however take the max of created_at for each email and order by that.



          The SQL query would look like this :



          SELECT email, max(created_at)
          FROM `customers`
          GROUP BY email
          ORDER BY max(created_at) DESC
