Issue in sorting Email Values, using AngularJS custom sort function

Question

I have a column in which i am displaying Email of user, i have added sort functionality to it. But the resultant array is not sorted properly.

Sample code is here

Any help will be appreciated

<ul ng-repeat="user in users | orderBy:'email':false">

In the example code, output of sorting [Ascending] is

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

But Expected output is

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Please place all relevant code in the question and provide expected results. What does not sorted properly mean? Demo seems to work — charlietfl

The sorting is quite proper in your code . its sorting alphabetically — Hmahwish

['[email protected]','[email protected]','[email protected]'].sort()produces same order. Has nothing to do with angular itself — charlietfl

The hint is to use a custom sort function and to "cut" the E-Mail at the @ symbol. Otherwise the whole string is going to be compared and @ is higher in value than +.

If you only want to match the Usernames you should be fine. Otherwise you need to also compare the domains, before comparing Usernames.

Here is a JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zjvsu/898/
