I am assuming that this replaces what is there already? Or is it an addition?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's a replacement: Replace the existing 'tep_get_country_list' function with this one.

 

I have a question:

I wanted the countries that I wish to be promoted to the top of list to also REMAIN in there original alphabetical locations in the list.

 

In other words, I want the countries that I choose to promote to be DUPLICATES of the original ones, because I feel that there will be many people that will not spot that their country is at the top of the list, and will therefore scroll down the list to try and find it alphabetically.

 

Does anyone know the code to accomplish this?

Thanks, Marc.

Hi,

 

The person requested that the countries repeat themselves in alphabetical order, which we would need. Do you have a solution for that?

 

Thank You
