This is the json that is generated using PHP
[{Sale:{id:1,customer_id:1,amount:15,created:2014-05-17}}]
Doing orderBy:id is obviously not working. I read in other posts that an orderBy function needs to be created for this kind of data structure. I am not able to create the function. Can anyone please tell me what is the correct way to approach this?
These type of data manipulations I like to keep them in the proper angular objects and for that reason I would create my custom filter, something like:
var sampleSource= [{Sale:{id:8,customer_id:1,amount:15,created:2014-05-17}}, {Sale:{id:5,customer_id:6,amount:15,created:2015-05-17}}];
var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);
myApp.filter('myFilter', function() {
return function(items) {
items.sort(function(a,b){
if (parseInt(a.Sale.id) > parseInt(b.Sale.id))
return 1;
if (parseInt(a.Sale.id) < parseInt(b.Sale.id))
return -1;
return 0; })
});
Important: I recommend the custom filter because as personal preference I do not like to overload my controllers or other objects with tasks(code) that I can separate on other objects which gives me more independence and cleaner code(one of the things I love about angular) but besides this personal preference I would say that this is not the only way but if you share my reasons behind it I hope it helps.
