Stop AngularJS ng-repeat rendering in alphabetical order

Question

In my angular app I\'m trying to display JSON data in a table. The data looks like this:

$scope.data = 
  {
    \"EVENT NAME\":\"Free Event\",
    \"ORDER ID         


        

Answer 1

Object properties don't have a natural order.

You can achieve what you're looking for with a slightly different Object:

$scope.data = 
  {
    columns: [
      {
        "EVENT NAME":"Free Event",
        "priority": 0        
      },
      {
        "ORDER_ID":311575707,
        "priority": 1        
      },
      ...
    ]
  }

Answer 2

You can achieve it like this

Working Demo

In the scope define a method like as shown

$scope.notSorted = function(obj){
    if (!obj) {
        return [];
    }
    return Object.keys(obj);
}

and in html like as shown below

html

<table class="table table-striped selector">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th ng-repeat="key in notSorted(data)">
         {{key}}
      </th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td ng-repeat="key in notSorted(data)" ng-init="value = data[key]">
            {{value}}
         </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Answer 3

A Javascript object does not have the concept of 'natural order' of its keys:

Definition of an Object from ECMAScript Third Edition (here):

4.3.3 Object An object is a member of the type Object. It is an unordered collection of properties each of which contains a primitive value, object, or function [...]

You probably should change a bit your data structure...
For example:

$scope.data = 
{
    1: { "EVENT NAME": "Free Event" },
    2: { "ORDER ID": 311575707 },
    /* ... */
};

And then use the numerical key to sort your items...
