Research direction

Look at the groupBy filter implementation in the angular-filter library, likely in a file like src/groupBy.js or similar. The issue is that grouping reverses the original array order. Start by examining the current sorting logic in the groupBy function. Write a test to reproduce the order issue, then modify the filter to preserve the original order. Check existing tests for groupBy to ensure changes don't break existing functionality.

Description

Hello i notice that if i use groupBy function from Your filter, it reverses the original order of the initial array.

Can you tell me if it is possible to use something like groupBy: 'ID' and then reverse?
