Laravel How to get multi different results by executing only one query

Question

Laravel version:7.0

$posts = Post::where("status", 1)->get();

Above returns all approved posts.

$top_featured_posts = Post::where("status", 1)->orderBy("featured", "DESC")->take(4);

Above will get 4 posts order by featured.

$top_recent_posts = Post::where("status", 1)->latest()->take(4);

Above will get 4 posts order by created_at. ...

How can I get them with only one query?

I want to get results as following to use them.

$top_featured_posts[0], $top_featured_posts[1], $top_featured_posts[2], $top_featured_posts[3]  

$top_recent_posts[0], $top_recent_posts[1], $top_recent_posts[2], $top_recent_posts[3]  

Can anyone help me? Thank you

You need to try this:

$posts = Post::where("status", 1)->get();

$top_featured_posts = $posts->sortByDesc("featured", "DESC")->take(4)->values();

$top_recent_posts = $posts->sortByDesc("created_at")->take(4)->values();
