$ionicScrollDelegate not working in ion-side-menu angualrjs - angularjs

Question

I am currently working on $ionicScrollDelegate in my mobile app. My objectives is when the user click the header bar, it will scroll to top automatically.The problem I have right now is when I include the ion-side-menu in my code, the $ionicScrollDelegate cannot scroll back, I created a button which it returns their position, but cannot scroll back. I am trying to figure out why $ionicScrollDelegate cannot scroll back to top when I included the side menu but when I removed the side menu, the $ionicScrollDelegate seems to work fine and it can scroll back to top.
Working code - without ion-side-menu
<ion-view>
<ion-header-bar class="bar-positive">
<button class="button button-icon" ng-click="toggleLeft()" menu-toggle="left">
<i class="icon ion-navicon"></i>
</button>
<h1 class="title">Details </h1>
</ion-header-bar>
<ion-content delegate-handle="mainContent" ng-controller="detailCtrl">
Load More
<ion-list can-swipe="listCanSwipe">
<ion-item ng-repeat="data in tempData |limitTo: limit"
item="data"
href="#/expenseDetail/{{data.id}}"
class="item-remove-animate">
Date:{{data.modifiedDate | date: "yyyy-MM-dd"}}<br />
<ion-option-button class="button-assertive"
ng-click="showPopup(data)">
Delete
</ion-option-button>
<ion-option-button class="button-calm"
ng-click="edit(data)"
ng-disabled="data.status!= 'Draft'">
Edit
</ion-option-button>
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
<button class="button button-icon ion-android-arrow-up" ng-click="scrollListToTop()">Scroll Top</button>
</ion-content>
<ion-view>
Not working - With side menu
<ion-view>
<ion-side-menus>
<ion-side-menu-content>
<ion-header-bar class="bar-positive">
<button class="button button-icon" ng-click="toggleLeft()" menu-toggle="left">
<i class="icon ion-navicon"></i>
</button>
<h1 class="title">Expenses Details</h1>
<a class="button button-icon ion-plus-round" href="#/addExpensesForm"></a>
</ion-header-bar>
<ion-content delegate-handle="mainContent" ng-controller="detailCtrl">

<ion-list can-swipe="listCanSwipe">
<ion-item ng-repeat="data in tempData |limitTo: limit"
item="data"
href="#/expenseDetail/{{data.id}}"
class="item-remove-animate">
Date:{{data.modifiedDate | date: "yyyy-MM-dd"}}<br />
<ion-option-button class="button-assertive"

</ion-option-button>
<ion-option-button class="button-calm"

</ion-option-button>
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
<button class="button button-icon ion-android-arrow-up" ng-click="scrollListToTop()">Scroll Top</button>
</ion-content>
</ion-side-menu-content>
<ion-side-menu side="left">
<header class="bar bar-header bar-assertive">
<h1 class="title">Menu</h1>
</header>
<ion-list>
<ul class="list">
<a ui-sref="tabs.home" class="item">Home</a>
<a ui-sref="about" class="item">About</a>
<a ui-sref="tabs.setting" class="item">Settings</a>
</ul>
</ion-side-menu>
</ion-side-menus>
</ion-view>
In My controller, I have
$scope.scrollListToTop = function () {
var result = $ionicScrollDelegate.$getByHandle('mainContent').getScrollPosition();
alert('Result:' + result.top + " " + result.left);
//$ionicScrollDelegate._instances[2].scrollTop();
}

It may be related to your markup structure.
Both the links below suggest that ion-side-menu-content should contain an ion-nav-bar then an ion-nav-view
https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-starter-sidemenu/blob/master/templates/menu.html and http://mcgivery.com/understanding-ionics-side-menu/
Switching that around and putting your ion-content in there may give you back control.
