Custom sort function in AngularJS

Question

How to make a custom function to order?

I made this plunker, and noticed that I get an element at a time, which prevents me from ordering the elements of an array. Any idea?

You need to return a value from your function that will be compared against the other values.

For example, it looks like in your plunkr you want to sort by birthday.

You might accomplish this with a function like so:

$scope.customSortFunc = function(person) {
   return new Date(person.birthday);
};

Keeping in mind that different browsers support parsing different date formats so ideally you'd use something like momentjs.
