AngularJS: Sorting Strings With Spaces Using orderBy

Question

I have an ng-repeat going, wherein:

<a ng-repeat="contact in contacts | orderBy:'name'">
{{contact.name}}
</a>

I have tried predicates: name, -name, name.substr(0, 3)

The contacts 'name' property is like "John Smith", "Betty Ford", "Hawkeye Pierce", etc.

The ng-repeat works, but the orderBy does not.

Is there a reason that my strings might not be sorting successfully?

What is your 'contacts' ?

2 : try

<div ng-repeat="contact in contacts | orderBy:'name'">
<a>{{contact.name}}</a>
</div>
