Question

I have an object like this:

$scope.phones = new Object();
$scope.phones['id1'] = {
    "name":"Phone Name1",
    "dateReleased":"2012-1-09 15:48:24"
};
$scope.phones['id2'] = {
    "name": "Phone Name2",
    "dateReleased":"2012-3-12 15:32:11"
};
$scope.phones['id3'] = {
    "name": "Phone Name3",
    "dateReleased":"2012-2-10 13:53:32"
};

I’m displaying this using ngRepeat. I’m not able to order by dateReleased. Also, ordering in reverse isn’t working. My ngRepeat looks this:

<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | orderBy:dateReleased:true">
    <p>{{phone.name}}</p>
    <p>{{phone.dateReleased}}</p>
</li>

Answer 1

If you check the documentation it says that the expression in orderBy can be a function, a string or an Array. An therefore you need dateReleased to be a string: ‘dateReleased’

Also you need your phones Object be an actual Array.

Try:

$scope.phones = [{
        "name":"Phone Name1",
        "dateReleased":"2012-1-09 15:48:24"
    },{
        "name": "Phone Name2",
        "dateReleased":"2012-3-12 15:32:11"
    },{
        "name": "Phone Name3",
        "dateReleased":"2012-2-10 13:53:32"
    }];

<li ng-repeat="phone in phones | orderBy:'dateReleased':true">
    <p>{{phone.name}}</p>
    <p>{{phone.dateReleased}}</p>
</li>
