Disabling orderBy in AngularJS while editing the list
After applying orderBy in my list of input boxes if i edit any field it starts sorting immediately and i loose focus. I tried to dug in the angular code and found out they have applied something like $watch on the orderBy's attributes therefore whenever the value changes it sorts the list.Is there any way to disable orderBy while editing? I dont want to let the orderBy sort data while editing text. Any help will be appreciated
Note: I want to use orderBy & don't need any alternative like sorting the list from any controller itself. I just want the orderBy to sort the list once on page load and then remain quite.

I was using orderBy on a list that could be re-ordered using angular-sortable, and ran into a similar issue.
My solution was to perform the ordering manually, by calling the orderBy filter inside the controller when the page was initialised, and then calling it subsequently when necessary, for example in a callback function after re-ordering the list.
