Please see this JS fiddle link.
http://jsfiddle.net/4Dpzj/174/
This is the logic for group by
app.filter('groupBy', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
return function (list, group_by) {
var filtered = [];
var prev_item = null;
var group_changed = false;
// this is a new field which is added to each item where we append "_CHANGED"
// to indicate a field change in the list
//was var new_field = group_by + '_CHANGED'; - JB 12/17/2013
var new_field = 'group_by_CHANGED';
// loop through each item in the list
angular.forEach(list, function (item) {
group_changed = false;
// if not the first item
if (prev_item !== null) {
// check if any of the group by field changed
//force group_by into Array
group_by = angular.isArray(group_by) ? group_by : [group_by];
//check each group by parameter
for (var i = 0, len = group_by.length; i < len; i++) {
if ($parse(group_by[i])(prev_item) !== $parse(group_by[i])(item)) {
group_changed = true;
}
}
}// otherwise we have the first item in the list which is new
else {
group_changed = true;
}
// if the group changed, then add a new field to the item
// to indicate this
if (group_changed) {
item[new_field] = true;
} else {
item[new_field] = false;
}
filtered.push(item);
prev_item = item;
});
return filtered;
};
I want to group all the products together.
what changes i need to do ?

I come up with this in my mind. Without using any custom filters.
I simply use this ng-repeat syntax :
ng-repeat="(key,item) in MyList | orderBy:orderKey"
Thanks to it i can get the key to compare the value with the previous object.
Here is my ng-show attribute. It can be improved by sorting the list somewhere else (like in the controller)
<h2 ng-show="(MyList | orderBy:orderKey)[key-1][orderKey] !== (MyList | orderBy:orderKey)[key][orderKey]"
Thanks to this you can populate your var "orderKey" with any of your attribute name and this will works.
See it working in this JSFiddle
Hope it helped.
EDIT :
I think it would be a bit cleaner to use a temporary list to manage the visual order (see it in this JSFiddle):
JS :
$scope.orderList = function(){
$scope.orderedList = $filter('orderBy')($scope.MyList,$scope.orderKey);
}
HTML :
ng-change="orderList()"
To trigger the list sort
The cleaner ng-repeat / ng-show
<div ng-repeat="(key,item) in orderedList">
<h2 ng-show="orderedList[key-1][orderKey] !== orderedList[key][orderKey]">{{item[orderKey]}} </h2>
<ul>
<li>{{item.ProductName}}</li>
</ul>
</div>

Have a look at this: http://jsfiddle.net/4Dpzj/176/
<div ng-repeat="item in MyList | orderBy:['SubCategoryName','BrandName'] | groupBy:['SubCategoryName']" >
<h2 ng-show="item.group_by_CHANGED">{{item.SubCategoryName}} </h2>
<ul>
<li>{{item.ProductName}} --- {{item.BrandName}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
