Change Order to Ascending from Alphabetical Ionic

[admin]

I have json data being fetched word a wordpress plog using a controller. It's displaying the categories alphabetical but I'd rather have it display is ascending order. Is there a simple way to do this?

I'm new to angularjs (and javascript in general).

My HTML is:

<ion-list>
  <div class="list cat">
    <a ng-repeat="category in categories"
       href="#/category/{{category.id}}"
       class="item item-thumbnail-left catthumb">

        <img ng-src="{{category.acf.thumbnail.url}}" class="catthumb">
        <span style="font-size: 21px; font-weight: 400;">{{category.name}}</span>
    </a>
  </div>
</ion-list>
