Custom sort function in ng-repeat

Viewed 152123

I have a set of tiles that display a certain number depending on which option is selected by the user. I would now like to implement a sort by whatever number is shown.

The code below shows how I've implemented it (by gettting/setting a value in the parent cards scope). Now, because the orderBy function takes a string, I tried to set a variable in the card scope called curOptionValue and sort by that, but it doesn't seem to work.

So the question becomes, how to I create a custom sort function?

<div ng-controller="aggViewport" >
<div class="btn-group" >
    <button ng-click="setOption(opt.name)" ng-repeat="opt in optList" class="btn active">{{opt.name}}</button>
</div>
<div id="container" iso-grid width="500px" height="500px">
    <div ng-repeat="card in cards" class="item {{card.class}}" ng-controller="aggCardController">
        <table width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td align="center">
                    <h4>{{card.name}}</h4>
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td align="center"><h2>{{getOption()}}</h2></td>
            </tr>
        </table>        
    </div>
</div>

and controller :

module.controller('aggViewport',['$scope','$location',function($scope,$location) {
    $scope.cards = [
        {name: card1, values: {opt1: 9, opt2: 10}},
        {name: card1, values: {opt1: 9, opt2: 10}}
    ];

    $scope.option = "opt1";

    $scope.setOption = function(val){
        $scope.option = val;
    }

}]);

module.controller('aggCardController',['$scope',function($scope){
    $scope.getOption = function(){
        return $scope.card.values[$scope.option];
    }
}]);

To include the direction along with the orderBy function:

ng-repeat="card in cards | orderBy:myOrderbyFunction():defaultSortDirection"

where

defaultSortDirection = 0; // 0 = Ascending, 1 = Descending
