   Guys... if you're going to list "Deutschland" as "Germany" in a Dropdown - fine.

   Would you mind sorting it under "G" instead of "D", though?

     @koehntopp Flip side is worse: forcing you to select country code for a phone number in a giant dropdown sorted by localized country name, not standard numeric code.

     @cy @koehntopp Pulldown boxes in general are evil UX. They ALWAYS take orders of magnitude more effort than typing what you wanted to enter.

     @dalias @koehntopp and generally putting more than 2-3 numbers to choose from in a drop-down .

     @cy @koehntopp A non user hostile browser would replace all pulldowns with free text entry boxes with completions.
