hey @evernoever I'm gonna assume you want to order a metadata from a post. The ->meta is basically an Eloquent's HasMany relationship. When you use $post->meta->foo behind the scenes you're calling $post->meta()->get()->first(...) so you get a collection of "meta" but we return the first one that matches the key.

If you want to order it, then you need to recreate the process, so you can $post->meta()->orderBy()->get()->first(...)

check how meta works in Corcel\Model\Collection\MetaCollection 👍
