Angular order of selected option in multiple mat-select

I want to be able to keep track on the order of selected options in multiple mat-select. How can I implement this use case?

Let's say first I select 'Onion' then 'Mushroom' and then 'Pepperoni'. I want to be able to get from mat-select the selected options in this order ['Onion', 'Mushroom', 'Pepperoni']. And if I then deselect 'Mushroom' and select 'Extra cheese', I want to get the selected options in an array like ['Onion', 'Pepperoni', 'Extra cheese'].

You could subscribe to MatSelect's optionSelectionChanges. It emits MatOptionSelectionChange objects. On this stream you can use rxjs's scan.

HTML

<mat-form-field appearance="fill">
  <mat-label>Toppings</mat-label>
  <mat-select multiple #toppingSelection>
    <mat-option *ngFor="let topping of toppingList" [value]="topping"
      >{{topping}}</mat-option
    >
  </mat-select>
</mat-form-field>

TS

export class SelectMultipleExample implements AfterViewInit {
  @ViewChild('toppingSelection')
  toppingSelection: MatSelect;

  toppingList: string[] = [
    'Extra cheese',
    'Mushroom',
    'Onion',
    'Pepperoni',
    'Sausage',
    'Tomato',
  ];

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    // TODO: unsubscribe
    this.toppingSelection.optionSelectionChanges
      .pipe(
        scan((acc: string[], change: MatOptionSelectionChange) => {
          if (change.source.selected) {
            return [...acc, change.source.value];
          } else {
            return acc.filter((entry) => entry !== change.source.value);
          }
        }, [])
      )
      .subscribe((selectedValues: string[]) => console.log(selectedValues));
  }
}
