Angular orderBy number sorting as text in ng-repeat

Question

I have this data:

[{\"id\":\"42\",\"firstname\":\"Sarah\",\"lastname\":\"Dilby\",\"age\":\"40\",\"cars\":\"Yaris\"},
{\"firstname\":\"Jason\",\"lastname\":\"         


        

Answer 1

Let orderBy point to a method owned by the scope or its not isolated ancestors and let this method return a number casted from the string. You may have to write a directive inheriting the person scope created by the ngRepeat instances.. to add this method.

Moreover in your case, the age is a string where it could have been an integer and so the numeric sort would be natively applied.

If you cannot change the data serverside then alter it clientside while fetching.
