In the function you use with gform_pre_render, you will read the array of translated countries, which should be out of order (if they were sorted based on US English before WPML did its magic) sort them, then repopulate the drop down with the newly sorted countries. The issue will be with when WPML does its translation. Hopefully it is done before gform_pre_render is called so you can actually see the out of order values and sort them, then use them in the form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-wpml-alphabetic-sort-of-translated-country-list#post-86213 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:53:14 +0000 donaker 86213@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris,</p> <p>I'm going to try a gform_pre_render filter.</p> <p>Would you have an example function of how i'd sort the drop down choices alphabetically?</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-wpml-alphabetic-sort-of-translated-country-list#post-86165 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:03:31 +0000 donaker 86165@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Chris,</p> <p>I think the filter you linked will only work on a list in the custom address form.</p> <p>Please add a country droplist as a custom field! it would make thing so much easier.</p> <p>I have 10 languages. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-wpml-alphabetic-sort-of-translated-country-list#post-86121 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 07:26:30 +0000 Chris Hajer 86121@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just ran across this filter, not sure if it could be used somehow:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_countries" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_countries</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-wpml-alphabetic-sort-of-translated-country-list#post-86114 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 07:11:51 +0000 Chris Hajer 86114@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How many languages are you using? Would it be possible to create a list of countries for each language and display the proper one based on the language selection? This only works without too much trouble if you have just a couple languages. I suppose that does not allow WPMU to do its translation though: you're just providing translated lists of countries for each language. That sort of defeats the purpose of the WPML plugin. But, I can't see another way of doing it without digging in to how WPML translates the drop down and when that actually happens. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-wpml-alphabetic-sort-of-translated-country-list#post-85837 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:01:22 +0000 donaker 85837@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using the bulk-add feature to add the country list, then adding an additional "Select a country" item to the top of the drop list.</p> <p>So i suppose this adds an extra level of complexity to the situation as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gravity-wpml-alphabetic-sort-of-translated-country-list#post-85810 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:22:31 +0000 Chris Hajer 85810@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I did see this topic at the WPML forums:<br /> <a href="http://wpml.org/forums/topic/sorting-of-dropdown-menus/" rel="nofollow">http://wpml.org/forums/topic/sorting-of-dropdown-menus/</a></p> <p>The only chance Gravity Forms would have at sorting the drop down would be after it's translated, with the gform_pre_render filter.
