Always sort routes by Laravel's matching order

[bilogic]

Hi,

I'm unsure how the routes are currently sorted when displayed, but it is not according to Laravel's matching order.
Because of that, I can't track down route registration order issues using this tool.

What do you mean by Laravel's matching order? Do you mean on how the routes are ordered when displayed by Artisan's route:list command?

Let's say we have these 2 routes

A. /api/checkout/{payment_gateway}
B. /api/checkout/paypal

1. In order for B to work, it must be registered before A (the fallback route), otherwise even if paypal was provided, A will be called instead of B
2. The order in which routes are registered is what I called the matching order, Laravel's internal code uses the term match
3. If I register A before B, route:list should show A then show B
4. But currently, no matter which route I register first, the display order is always the same and do not change
5. I know that Route::getRoutes() will return it in the matching order

Thanks for your explanation @bilogic. I will investigate this issue later.
