Definition and Usage
The orderBy filter allows us to sort an array.
By default, strings are sorted alphabetically, and numbers are sorted numerically.
Syntax
{{ array | orderBy :
expression :
reverse }}
Parameter Values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| expression | The expression used to determine the order. The expression can be of
type: String: If the array is an array of objects, you can sort the array by the value of one of the object properties. See the examples below. Function: You can create a function to organize the sorting. Array: Use an array if you need more than one object property to determine the sorting order. The array items can be both strings and functions. |
| reverse | Optional. Set to true if you want to reverse the order of the array. |
