Angular priority of directives not working

Question

I have this directive that removes unwanted elements from a list, repeated by an ng-repeat .

However i have a hard time getting the priority working, by default i know the ng-repeat that repeats my wanted and unwanted elements is 100, so in my directive i set restriction to a value below that so ensure ng-repeats has finished before looking for unwanted elements.

This is (still) not working :

myApp.directive('imageContainerRemoval', function() {
 return {
  priority: 999,
  restrict: 'E',
  link: function postLink (scope, element, attrs) {

From Angular Docs :

Directives with greater numerical priority are compiled first. Pre-link functions are also run in priority order, but post-link functions are run in reverse order . The order of directives with the same priority is undefined. The default priority is 0.

As the link function is just a shortcut for the post-link function, I guess instead you have to use the pre-link function or reverse the priorities.

NOTE: The priority of ngRepeat is 1000 by default.
