Answer 1

Use Array.sort. Refer to the example below

var app = angular.module('so', []);

app.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.students = [{'name': 'student'}, {'name': 'john'}, {'name': 'austin'}, {'name': 'doe'}];
});

app.filter('filterByName', function () {
  return function (item) {
      return item.sort((a,b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name))
  };
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.3/angular.min.js"></script>

<div ng-app="so">
  <div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
    <li ng-repeat="student in students | filterByName track by $index">{{student.name}}</li>
   </div>
</div>
