angular ng-repeat in reverse

Question

How can i get a reversed array in angular? i'm trying to use orderBy filter, but it needs a predicate(e.g. 'name') to sort:

<tr ng-repeat="friend in friends | orderBy:'name':true">
      <td>{{friend.name}}</td>
      <td>{{friend.phone}}</td>
      <td>{{friend.age}}</td>
<tr>

Is there a way to reverse original array, without sorting. like that:

<tr ng-repeat="friend in friends | orderBy:'':true">
      <td>{{friend.name}}</td>
      <td>{{friend.phone}}</td>
      <td>{{friend.age}}</td>
<tr>

Answer 1

I would suggest using a custom filter such as this:

app.filter('reverse', function() {
  return function(items) {
    return items.slice().reverse();
  };
});

Which can then be used like:

<div ng-repeat="friend in friends | reverse">{{friend.name}}</div>

See it working here: Plunker Demonstration

This filter can be customized to fit your needs as seen fit. I have provided other examples in the demonstration. Some options include checking that the variable is an array before performing the reverse, or making it more lenient to allow the reversal of more things such as strings.
