To properly escape the order by query in CodeIgniter, you can use the escape() method provided by the database class. The escape() method properly escapes the column name and direction to prevent SQL injection attacks.
Here's an example of how to escape the order by query in CodeIgniter:
$this->db->order_by($this->db->escape('column_name') . ' DESC');
In this example, replace 'column_name' with the name of the column you want to order by. The escape() method ensures that any special characters in the column name are properly escaped to prevent SQL injection attacks.
You can also use the order_by() method with an array of column names to order by multiple columns:
$this->db->order_by(array($this->db->escape('column_name_1') . ' DESC', $this->db->escape('column_name_2') . ' ASC'));
In this example, replace 'column_name_1' and 'column_name_2' with the names of the columns you want to order by. The escape() method ensures that any special characters in the column names are properly escaped.
By properly escaping the order by query, you can help prevent SQL injection attacks and ensure that your code is secure.
