Let's assume I have the following data array in this form:
var data = [{group:GroupA, label: BB}, {group:GroupB, label: DD}.....].
My binding would be something like:
<select data-ng-options="c as c.label group by c.group for c in data"></select>
I would like the dropdown to list all the items with GroupA
before GroupB
while having them also sorted under each group.
Something like this:
GroupA
AA
BB
CC
GroupB
DD
EE
FF
I know I can use the orderBy
Angular filter, but that doesn't really work the way I need. My guess is I have to write a custom filter that manually orders the list the way I want, but I was wondering if there is an easier way to accomplish the task.
orderBy
can take an array of multiple parameters to order by. So you can do:
c as c.label group by c.group for c in data | orderBy:['group','label']
