How to get the selected payment method when the "sales_order_save_after" event is fired?

Question

I'm developing an observable that listen to the sales_order_save_after event.

I have the order information executing $observer->getEvent()->getOrder() but i cannot get the payment method selected (cash on delivery or check/money order, etc).

I did try with $order->getPayment()->getMethod() but this works only when the order already has been payed. (And I need to know what payment method was selected when the order was placed).

Thanx in advance

Please use below code in your Observer to get payment method data

Method 1

$payment = $order->getPayment();
$method = $payment->getMethodInstance();
$methodTitle = $method->getTitle();
//print_r($method->getData());

Method 2

$order->getPayment()->getAdditionalInformation("method_title")

You can try below to get the payment method from the order.

$payment = $order->getPayment();
$method = $payment->getMethodInstance();
$methodTitle = $method->getTitle();
