Laravel's sortBy() function allows you to sort data, taking case sensitivity into account by default. If you wish to intentionally disable this distinction, you can do so using the parameters SORT_NATURAL|SORT_FLAG_CASE. Here's a practical example:
$customers = Customer::all()->sortBy( 'name', SORT_NATURAL|SORT_FLAG_CASE );
It's important to note that the sortBy() function accepts the same parameters as PHP's native sort() function. A comprehensive overview of all available parameters can be found here.
