ng-table not working for dynamic data

Question

I have created a table and I am using http to load the data in the tables. So, in every click, my table data is changing, but I don't see the updated data in the table. I had created a sample Plunker for the reference. In my project, WHen I click on Reload New Data, the data in table get's changed, but after 2-3 click it doesn't change. DId anyone know, how to fix it..

It is a problem with the ngTable directive. It updates only when data.length changes. Take a look at this plunk. I set $scope['tableParams1'] to null and inside the $timeout I set the new data. This forces angularJs to do a new cycle. So in the first cycle the ngTable sees the data.length changed to 0 and in the new cycle the ngTable sees the data.length changed again. If you don't use the $timeout, the ngTable will see that the data.length remains the same as before and won't do nothing.
