OrderBy Date values, which are just strings in Angular JS

Because orderBy filter, you can use that. Your ng-repear would probably look similar to this:

ng-repeat="item in items | orderBy: orderByDate"

and then on your controller you would define the orderByDate function:

$scope.orderByDate = function(item) {    var parts = item.dateString.split('-');    var date = new Date(parseInt(parts[2],                         parseInt(parts[1]),                         parseInt(parts[0]));    return date;};

Implementation of the function is up to you. I choose to create Date from the string. The object you return from orderByDate function is then used to be order with using <, =, > operators.

EDIT: solution for :reverse

Since :reverse can't be used with a function passed as parameter, you can implement your custom function to return reversed value itself. In such case using Date is not possible, I would construct a number then and returned it with minus:

$scope.orderByDate = function(item) {    var parts = item.dateString.split('-');    var number = parseInt(parts[2] + parts[1] + parts[0]);    return -number;};

var now = Date.now();now = $filter('date')(now, 'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss+hh:mm');

Then you can data filtering with corresponding formatted date
