I can't find a native way to order by a relationship column paginated.

I am doing a clasic dashboard.. where data is displayed in a table paginated and sorted, usually the data are relationships of one main model... my question: I can't find a native way to order by a relationship column paginated.., still no way to do it, right? I have to do all maually with joins ?

$popularCurrencies = $this->presetPopularcurrencyModel->with([

                    'country', 'currency', 'locale'

                ])

                ->sortBy('country.code') // Imposible ??

                ->paginate(15);

I have to do it like..

$presetPopularCurrencyTable = PresetLocalepopularcurrencyModel::getTableName();

            $currencyTable = CurrencyModel::getTableName();

            $countryTable = CountryModel::getTableName();

            $localeTable = LocaleModel::getTableName();



            $popularCurrencies = $this->presetPopularcurrencyModel->select(.. all the columns ..)

                ->join($currencyTable, $presetPopularCurrencyTable.'.currency_id', '=', $currencyTable.'.id')

                ->join($countryTable, $presetPopularCurrencyTable.'.country_id', '=', $countryTable.'.id')

                ->join($localeTable, $presetPopularCurrencyTable.'.locale_id', '=', $localeTable.'.id')

                ->orderBy('currencies.code')

                ->paginate(15);

 
TLDR; there is not a native solution to sort by a relationship column with pagination , right?
that is a so common thing.. that I am amused that with all the fancy new things in Laravel it is not yet resolved.. so asking if maybe I am missing something
BTW https://github.com/fico7489/laravel-eloquent-join doesn't help on that case, because it can be used together with with() (eager loading)
