Formatting - Select-field

It would be great if we could format the displayed field in a select field. Basic angular ng-options allows you to do this -- ng-options="type.id as (type.id + ' ' + type.someDesc) for type in vm.someList"> -- Forgive me if you can and I'm not seeing this. Also, being able to use filter options in a select would be awesome too, ie, order by, etc.
