Laravel - Middleware - Sorting Middleware
Rarely, you may need your middleware to execute in a specific order but not have control over their order when they are assigned to the route. In this case, you may specify your middleware priority using the $middlewarePriority property of your app/Http/Kernel.php file. This property may not exist in your HTTP kernel by default. If it does not exist, you may copy its default definition below:
/**
* The priority-sorted list of middleware.
*
* This forces non-global middleware to always be in the given order.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $middlewarePriority = [
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticatesRequests::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
