Factory function to return a single value?

1

i have the following Factory function that execute an SQLite Select statement to get the sum of a column.

  myDataFactory.OrderedDishesCountByCategory = function (CategoryNo, callback) {
            $ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
                var query = "SELECT ifnull(SUM( qty ),0)   as ordercount FROM dishesmenu WHERE dishcategory = ?";
                $cordovaSQLite.execute(db, query, [CategoryNo]).then(function (result) {
                    console.log(result.rows.item(0).ordercount);
                    callback(result);
                });
            })
        }

in the above am returning the result, but i want to get only the “ordercount”, i mean

result.rows.item(0).ordercount

so when i call this function from the controller i can set this value to some variable directly.

is that posible and how ?
