    ->text('↑', '↓')  
    ->appends([
		'key1' => 'value1',  
		'key2' => 'value2',  
		'key3' => 'value3'  
	])

• All methods except links() are optional. See methods

Single Text Way

If you set the third argument like the below, only one link will be displayed.

\Caruta::text(
    '<i class="fa fa-sort-asc"></i>',  
    '<i class="fa fa-sort-desc"></i>',  
    '<i class="fa fa-sort"></i>'
);

(example)

Sort with model
With model(Eloquent), you can automatically set "ORDER BY" like the below.

$items = \App\Item::select('id', 'title');
$items = \Caruta::sort($items, 
    ['id', 'title', 'created_at'], 
    ['updated_at', 'asc']
);
dd($items->get()->toArray());

• The second argument(Array) means that except specific column name(s) will be ignored to set "ORDER BY" for secure.
• The third argument(Array) will be used for default. And direction canbe asc and desc

Note: If you changed the parameter name "ORDER BY" to other using keys() method, you also need to set it in this case as well.
