ng-repeat and orderBy a String

Question

I'm getting two items back from my API, one has a startDate and one has an endDate and I was wondering if it's possible to order them by their parameter string?

Data:

[
  {
    name: "Item 1",
    type: "Start Time"
  },
  {
    name: "Item 2",
    type: "End Time"
  }
]

Something like so:

<li ng-repeat="item in items | orderBy: type='Start Time'">{{ item.name }}</li>

Is is possible using Angular's orderBy filter?

Any help is appreciated.

No need to specify StartTime,

<li ng-repeat="item in items | orderBy: 'type'>{{ item.name }}</li>

Here is the working Application

You only need to specify the key by which you want to order in your orderBy:

orderBy: 'type'

And if you want to reverse the order use -:

orderBy: '-type'

Will this work even if the data is flipped. And `Item 1` has a type of `End Time` and `Item 2` has a type of `Start Time` – realph Dec 03 '15 at 13:44
yes, orderBy depends only on the key used to order by – Tarun Dugar Dec 03 '15 at 13:46
