[Plugin: Events Manager] Alphabetical order of countries in localized versions

you can try to hook into em_get_countries filter.

untested, but try:

function my_countries_mod($countries){
return sort($countries);
}
add_filter('em_get_countries','my_countries_mod');

But that is not update-safe. Will this be fixed in the next version?

EM won’t remove that if you put it in your theme functions.php

But wouldn’t it be better if EM supports that from the core?

yes but ideally a lot of stuff would be, so for now you can use this ??

I’ve tested the function mentioned above, but now my country-selector is blank… ??

oops,

function my_countries_mod($countries){
sort($countries);
return $countries;
}
add_filter('em_get_countries','my_countries_mod');

that should work

I’m sorry but it does not. The selector is still empty then.

what about just

function my_countries_mod($countries){
return $countries;
}
add_filter('em_get_countries','my_countries_mod');

without any sorting? if not then maybe you’re doing something wrong somewhere else.

That works, but as you said, with no sorting.

the latest update fixes this issue

Great, it works! Thank you so much for your efforts!

Will the order also be fixed in the backend with one of the next updates?

Where in the backend are you seeing this problem? If it exists, then we’ll fix it asap too.
