Change order of countries in select field

[punkstjimmy]

Hi,

is it possible to change the order that the countries appear in on the shipping and billing address forms?

I would like to move the UK to the top as 99% of customers using the site which I am building will be in the UK. I've had a look around the language files, to see if I can re-order them. Also I've tried altering the $arrCountries array in ModuleIsotopeCheckout.php so that gb is the first item, this appears to have no effect on the list.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this? Thank you.

would it not be better to set the fields default to 'gb' in localconfig, so alphabetical order is still maintained?

It sounds like it may be better indeed. I didn't know you could do this, what do I need to put in localconfig?

Will this just make all country select forms default to gb? Is there any documentation you can point me to which explains this? Thanks

in system/config/dcaconfig.php (sorry, not localconfig)

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_member']['fields']['country']['default'] = 'gb';

would change just the tl_members.country field to 'gb'.

So you need to identify the module table [tl_member] and field ['country'] you want to set a default to.
I can't tell you which sorry, as I don't know Isotope.
