In this step, we add a feature that lets our users choose which way to order the phone list.
__`app/index.html`:__
<pre>
...
<ul class="predicates">
<li>
Search: <input type="text" name="query"/>
</li>
<li>
Sort by:
<select name="orderProp">
<option value="name">Alphabetical</option>
<option value="age">Newest</option>
</select>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="phones">
<li ng:repeat="phone in phones.$filter(query).$orderBy(orderProp)">
{{phone.name}}
<p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>
</li>
</ul>
...
</pre>
__`app/js/controller.js`:__
<pre>
/* App Controllers */
function PhoneListCtrl() {
this.phones = [{"name": "Nexus S",
"snippet": "Fast just got faster with Nexus S.",
"age": 0},
{"name": "Motorola XOOM™ with Wi-Fi",
"snippet": "The Next, Next Generation tablet.",
"age": 1},
{"name": "MOTOROLA XOOM™",
"snippet": "The Next, Next Generation tablet.",
"age": 2}];
this.orderProp = 'age';
}
</pre>
__`test/unit/controllerSpec.js`:__
<pre>
/* jasmine specs for controllers go here */
describe('PhoneCat controllers', function() {
describe('PhoneListCtrl', function(){
var scope, $browser, ctrl;
beforeEach(function() {
ctrl = new PhoneListCtrl();
});
it('should create "phones" model with 3 phones', function() {
expect(ctrl.phones.length).toBe(3);
});
it('should set the default value of orderProp model', function() {
expect(ctrl.orderProp).toBe('age');
});
});
});
</pre>
## 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.
