Sort an Array Based on User Input
Click the table headers to change the sort order::
Name |
Country |
Jani |
Norway |
Carl |
Sweden |
Margareth |
England |
Hege |
Norway |
Joe |
Denmark |
Gustav |
Sweden |
Birgit |
Denmark |
Mary |
England |
Kai |
Norway |
By adding the
ng-click
directive on the table headers, we can run a function that changes the sorting order of the array:
Example
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="namesCtrl">
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<th ng-click="orderByMe('name')">Name</th>
<th ng-click="orderByMe('country')">Country</th>
</tr>
<tr
ng-repeat="x in names | orderBy:myOrderBy">
<td>{{x.name}}</td>
<td>{{x.country}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<script>
angular.module('myApp', []).controller('namesCtrl',
function($scope) {
$scope.names = [
{name:'Jani',country:'Norway'},
{name:'Carl',country:'Sweden'},
{name:'Margareth',country:'England'},
{name:'Hege',country:'Norway'},
{name:'Joe',country:'Denmark'},
{name:'Gustav',country:'Sweden'},
{name:'Birgit',country:'Denmark'},
{name:'Mary',country:'England'},
{name:'Kai',country:'Norway'}
];
$scope.orderByMe = function(x) {
$scope.myOrderBy
= x;
}
});</script>
