I needed a way to change the sort order of my data inside of an admin interface which I have created.

That way, I can create something which everyone wants and unleash something which almost everyone will love...
Previously on a project, I had to have a slug within my routes which would point to two different tables within my database. I needed a controller which would do the thinking for me. And by this I mean, in my routes I would have...
