~~MBS-5402~~ Country (and language) dropdown is sorted by English alphabet

Description

« Hide

The country dropdown, such as on http://i18n.mbsandbox.org/artist/create is sorted by the English name. Once translated, that will make it rather difficult to find things in the list.

I can't check the language/script ones because of ~~MBS-4613~~ but they will probably have the same problem.

Sort Order:

I think this may be sorted by the ID number in the country table, and the alphabetization in English is incidental.

Still needs fixing, of course.

This failed beta testing due to ~~MBS-5286~~, so I have re-opened it and moved it to the next fix version.

Script dropdown is still sorted by the English names (see e.g. http://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/add?artist=89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377).

On a related note, could the language and script dropdowns be sorted case-insensitively? This would benefit the Finnish and Estonian translations (and possibly French), because language and script names in these are normally lowercase , but some begin with a name of a country (as in "Canadian Syllabics", "Inari Sami"), so would need to begin with a capital, but that shouldn't get them displayed at the beginning of the list.

Meh, forgot to do a rebase when the patch got pulled out of beta. I'm directly cherry-picking the one relevant commit.

Latter problem should probably be a new ticket
