AngularJS orderby integer field not working properly

Question

I just took the simplest demo from http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.filter:orderBy and just change the value of age to have different number of digit. It stop working as it

Answer 1

You just have to remove quotes in age variable because it's an integer, not a string:

  $scope.friends =
      [{name:'John', phone:'555-1212', age:2352345},
       {name:'Mary', phone:'555-9876', age:4235243},
       {name:'Mike', phone:'555-4321', age:241},
       {name:'Adam', phone:'555-5678', age:34325},
       {name:'Julie', phone:'555-8765', age:1234}]

Answer 2

Changing your predicate to the following will also work:

<th><a href="" ng-click="predicate = '1*age'; reverse=!reverse">Age</a></th>

Answer 3

I know is a little late for this answer, but in the newest version of Angular, you can use a function as the orderBy's predicate (https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/orderBy). In this case, add to the controller a function like next

$scope.orderByFunction = function(friend){
    return parseInt(friend.age);
};

and change the predicate in the orderBy filter

ng-repeat="friend in friends | orderBy:orderByFunction:reverse"

This will do the trick!

Answer 4

Add JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK code while converting array into json. json_encode($anyarray,JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);

Answer 5

you have to convert age to type Number to make to orderBy to work as it should.

Add to your controller to sort String age as float:

   angular.forEach($scope.friends, function (friend) {
    friend.age = parseFloat(friend.age);
   });

It should work,

See PLunker

Answer 6

AngularJs have in built functionalities to sort the values.But before sorting float values we need to convert the values to float using the parseFloat() javavscript function .
