Custom order using orderBy in ng-repeat

Know this is old but may come in handy for others...

You could also create a simple custom sort function. "Not quite a filter":

$scope.customOrder = function (item) {
        switch (item) {
            case 'A_Class':
                return 2;

            case 'B_Class':
                return 1;

            case 'C_Class':
                return 3;
        }
    };

And then use like you wanted to:

<table>
<tr ng-repeat="student in students | orderBy:customOrder">
...
</tr>

Hi you can create custom sort filter please see here http://jsbin.com/lizesuli/1/edit

html:

  <p ng-repeat="s in students |customSorter:'class'">{{s.name}} - {{s.class}} </p>
      </div>

angularjs filter:

app.filter('customSorter', function() {

  function CustomOrder(item) {
    switch(item) {
      case 'A_Class':
        return 2;

      case 'B_Class':
        return 1;

      case 'C_Class':
        return 3;
    }  
  }

  return function(items, field) {
    var filtered = [];
    angular.forEach(items, function(item) {
      filtered.push(item);
    });
    filtered.sort(function (a, b) {    
      return (CustomOrder(a.class) > CustomOrder(b.class) ? 1 : -1);
    });
    return filtered;
  };
});
