+In this step, we add a feature that lets our users choose which way to order the phone list.

+
+## Discussion:
+
+To provide dynamic ordering, we employ another one of angular's "array type augmenters" and let
+the data binding do the rest of the work for us:
+
+* Like {@link angular.Array.filter $filter}, {@link angular.Array.orderBy $orderBy} is a built-in
+method available on array objects in angular expressions. In our UI template, we set up a select
+box that lets the user set the `orderProp` model variable to one of the string constants: `age` or
+`name`.
+
+* In our controller, we added a line to set the default value of `orderProp` to `age`.
+
+* Our unit test now verifies that our default ordering property is set.
+
+* Once again we added a little more CSS to improve the View.
