AngularJS Paging orderBy only affects displayed page

Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out a way to fix the way paging and orderBy work together in Angular?

Currently, I can orderBy and page the results of the data[], but the orderBy filter only affects the each page individually.

For example, if I sort in reverse order by ID, page 1 will list 10-1, and page 2 will list 15-11, as opposed to starting with 15 and going to 1 by the end of the second page.

I have a basic fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/ZbMsR/

Here is my controller:

function MyCtrl($scope) {
    $scope.currentPage = 0;
    $scope.pageSize = 10;
    $scope.orderBy = "-appId";
    $scope.data = [
        {'appId': 1}, {'appId': 2}, {'appId': 3}, {'appId': 4}, {'appId': 5}, {'appId': 6}, {'appId': 7}, {'appId': 8}, {'appId': 9},{'appId': 10}, {'appId': 11}, {'appId': 12}, {'appId': 13}, {'appId': 14}, {'appId': 15}
];

    $scope.numberOfPages=function(){
        return Math.ceil($scope.data.length/$scope.pageSize);                
    };
}

//We already have a limitTo filter built-in to angular,
//let's make a startFrom filter
app.filter('startFrom', function() {
    return function(input, start) {
        start = +start; //parse to int
        return input.slice(start);
    }
});

Here is the relevant portion of my View

 <strong>Sort By:</strong> <a ng-click="orderBy = 'appId'; reverse=!reverse">Newest</a>
 <ul>
    <li ng-repeat="item in data | startFrom:currentPage*pageSize | limitTo:pageSize | orderBy:orderBy:reverse">
        {{item.appId}}
    </li>
 </ul>

If you have complete client-side paging, then you can just change order of filters:

<li ng-repeat="item in data | orderBy:orderBy:reverse | startFrom:currentPage*pageSize | limitTo:pageSize ">

Is that what you expected?
