How to change the scope variable when sorting applied on the table?

I am using Angular Datatable with ng-repeat, where all columns can be sorted. After sorting, I want the scope variable should be changed.. Can it be achieved?

simple example is below: In my case I'm using array of JSON objects

$scope.names = ['XYZ', 'DEF', 'ABC', 'IJK'];

After datatable sorting applied on name field, the value of name filed should be changed to the following:

$scope.names = ['ABC', 'DEF', 'IJK', 'XYZ'];
Solution

  • The below code is working... Thanks @davidkonrad for the hint on dtInstance

     var sortedTableArray = [];
 var sortedJSON = []       
 DTInstances.getList().then(function(dtInstances) {
sortedTableArray.push(dtInstances.viewTable.DataTable.context[0].aiDisplay)

              sortedJSON = _.sortBy(unsortedList, function(obj){

                    return _.indexOf(_.toArray(sortedTableArray[0]), obj.id);
                });
