Sort order for Country field from join.php

Hello,

Sort order for Country field is wrong from join.php and pedit.php for other languages.

For English like so:

1. Afghanistan
2. Aland Islands
3. Albania
4. Algeria

For other languages like so:

1. Afghanistan
2. Mexia
3. Algeria
4. Russia

I think this is a bug..

Thanks,

Countries list is a regular predefined links which you can compose using admin -> builders -> predefined lists

The list have the order you set for it.

That must be such as from event add page. If you want to support multi-languages from Dolphin, you need to think about translators. If as you say I compose from predefined lists at this time will be a problem to english and other langs..

Does it make sense do you think?

Current system provides sorting manually using predefined lists builder, if we use sorting programmatically - it will interfere with current functionality.

 You must be willing them to make the system more useful.

Whatever.. Can you provide me programmatically sorting code please?

Current system don't allow this, hardcoded sorting isn't good solution.

We will try to consider this feature in future versions.

You can use this solution temporary:

In BxDOlProfileFields.php file near 1747 line in convertValues4Input function just before the following code:

        return $aValues;

add this:

        if (is_string($mValues) && '#!Country' == $mValues)
            asort($aValues);

does not work..

 Please explain

I did what you say, but still the same sort..

    function convertValues4Input($mValues, $sUseLKey = 'LKey')

    {

        $aValues = array();

        if (is_array($mValues)) {

            foreach ($mValues as $sKey)

                $aValues[$sKey] = _t('_FieldValues_' . $sKey);

        } elseif (is_string($mValues) and !empty($mValues) and substr($mValues, 0, 2) == $this->sLinkPref) {

            $sKey = substr($mValues, 2);

            if (isset($GLOBALS['aPreValues'][$sKey]) ) {

                $aPValues = $GLOBALS['aPreValues'][$sKey];

                foreach ($aPValues as $sKey => $aPValue) {

                    if (!isset($aPValue[$sUseLKey]))

                        $sUseLKey = 'LKey';

                    $aValues[$sKey] = _t($aPValue[$sUseLKey]);

                }

            }

        }

        //echoDbg($aValues);

        return $aValues;

if (is_string($mValues) && '#!Country' == $mValues)

            asort($aValues);

    }

Sorry I meant:

In BxDOlProfileFields.php file near 1747 line in convertValues4Input function just before the following code:

        return $aValues;

 Thanks..
