Hi guys, I am facing a problem in here. I have 3 tables posts, threads and comments. a thread contain comments and is attached to a post. So, there is a relation between post and threads and a relation between threads and comments. What I need is to sort posts by the latest where if a post has a thread that contains comments then use the comment created_at else if post has no thread attached then use post created at. so I kind of need order by if exists thread.comments.created_at else post.created_at
is this possible?
