How to customize relationship pivot field orderBy

Bug report

What I did

Added a custom query in a relationship field to order the options by name.

CRUD::addField([
    'label' => "Catégorie",
    'type' => "relationship",
    'name' => 'type_id',
    'attribute' => "name",
    'model'     => "App\Models\Type",
    'placeholder' => "Sélectionner une catégorie",
    'inline_create' => true,
    'tab' => 'Champs d\'administration',
    'options' => (function ($query) {
        return $query->orderBy('name', 'ASC')->get();
    })
]);

What I expected to happen

The select2 options should be ordered by name.

What happened

The select2 options are not ordered by name.

What I’ve already tried to fix it

If I remove 'inline_create' => true, the custom query is working as expected and the select2 options are ordered by name.

CRUD::addField([
    'label' => "Catégorie",
    'type' => "relationship",
    'name' => 'type_id',
    'attribute' => "name",
    'model'     => "App\Models\Type",
    'placeholder' => "Sélectionner une catégorie",
    'tab' => 'Champs d\'administration',
    'options' => (function ($query) {
        return $query->orderBy('name', 'ASC')->get();
    })
]);

You should configure the options inside the pivotSelect key.

I tried it and it works. @pxpm Thanks Post the correct code in case someone needs it:

 $this->crud->addField([
            'name'      => 'products',
            'label'     => 'Products',
            'type'      => "relationship",
            'subfields' => [
                [
                    'name' => 'quantity',
                    'label' => trans('stocks::stock_movment.quantity'),
                    'type' => 'number',
                ],
            ],
            'pivotSelect' => [
                'options'   => (function ($query) {
                    return $query->orderBy('name', 'ASC')->get();
                }),
            ]
        ]);

The first issue with @lucaguindani , is that the inline_create field does not use options since it’s an ajax field. You should always provide the fetchSomething or configure the data_source yourself. There you actually return the results, so your query configuration should be done in the ajax endpoint: https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/5.x/crud-operation-fetch#how-to-use-1

@pxpm Thanks for the tip! It’s working as expected now that I’ve added the orderBy in the fetch function.
