sorting the http get before returning to component

Question

Currently in the service i am calling http.get as follow

getList(): Observable {
return this.http.get("api/customers");

}

in component ngOnInit the list of customer is returned:

this.customerService.getList().subscribe(data => (this.customers = data));

It is working fine. Now i want to sorting the list before returning to the component.

any idea of how to return sorted list in the service to compnent?

You can sort it in the service by calling .sort,

this.http.get("api/customers").pipe(
  map(results => results.sort(...))
);
