Manipulate the current page within a controller for pagination

[Suguru-Tokuda]

• AngularJS version: 1.5
• Smart table version: latest as of 09/27/2018

Issue: I'm trying to let an AngularJS controller manipulate the current page value for the pagination generated by smart table directive. I've checked "pipe/ajax plugin" section on http://lorenzofox3.github.io/smart-table-website/, however, the app that I'm working doesn't need a callback function to create a table. Is there any way to manipulate the value of for the current page in a controller?
