Multiple orders with date, second item is reversed

[bluecaret]

I have a strange issue that is causing my second column that needs to be sorted to be sorted in reverse order from the first.

Stackblitz: https://stackblitz.com/edit/ngx-order-pipe-njfy7p

In the example above it is sorted by DOB and then by Name. But the name column is in reverse order even though both should be ascending. If I sort by multiple columns with anything other than a date it seems to work fine.

ngx-order-pipe v2.0.4

The problem is that:

new Date(1978, 10, 12, 0, 0, 0, 0) == new Date(1978, 10, 12, 0, 0, 0, 0)

Will return false.
Probably the solution would be to extend comparison functions and use Date's getTime() before comparing two Dates.

For now (before actual fix) you could pass your own comparator that handles Dates https://github.com/VadimDez/ngx-order-pipe#arguments
For example;

(a, b) => {
    if (a instanceof Date) {
        a = a.getTime();
        b = b.getTime();
    }
    if (a === b) {
      return 0;
    }
    if (a == null) {
      return 1;
    }
    if (b == null) {
      return -1;
    }
    return a > b ? 1 : -1;
}
