angularjs - Updating selected array element after deleting the element from a filtered ng-repeat -

i have list of users click on user select , put element object $scope.selectedmember when selected. i'm using ng-repeat search box filter. important thing $scope.selectedmember should populated member.

problem i'm trying overcome: - splicing last user out needs automatically select last user in filtered array, if it's filtered members out search.

html

<div ng-app="myapp" ng-controller="mainctrl">     <input ng-model="search"></input>     <div ng-repeat="(key, member) in members | filter:search | orderby :'-name'">         <li ng-class="{active: retactive(key)}"             ng-click="selectthis($index)">             name: {{member.name}} key: {{key}}                 <button ng-click="deletethis(key)">delete</button>         </li>     </div>     selected member name: {{selectedmember.name}} </div> 

js

angular.module('myapp', []);  function mainctrl($scope) {      $scope.members = [                           {"name":"a", "viewindex":0},                           {"name":"b", "viewindex":1},                           {"name":"bb", "viewindex":2},                           {"name":"bb", "viewindex":3},                           {"name":"c", "viewindex":4},                           {"name":"d", "viewindex":5},                           {"name":"e", "viewindex":6}                          ];      $scope.activeindex = 0;     $scope.selectedmember = $scope.members[0];      $scope.selectthis = function (index) {         $scope.activeindex = index;         //put array member new object         $scope.selectedmember = $scope.members[index];       }      //splice selected member array       $scope.deletethis = function (index) {         $scope.members.splice(index, 1);         $scope.selectthis(index);       }      //angular copy , push member array     $scope.duplicatethis = function (index) {      }      // change class if member active     $scope.retactive = function (index) {         return $scope.activeindex == index;     } } 

css

.active {     color:blue; } 

link jsfiddle

one problem see passing $index selectthis($index). when filter data, loop's $index no longer represents actual index of item in array - should pass selectthis key, not $index.
