Hi @alaskadream,
Starting with OJS/OMP 3.2.0 we moved from our own (poorly maintained) country list to one more reliably maintained by a 3rd party. There’s some discussion of this on a question about Taiwan’s entry.
The sorting issue is a bug – thanks for reporting. There are a couple of patches there to resolve it, and the fix will be included in the next release.
The patches will show you the places where the list is built, so if you want to limit your options to just a subset or change the ordering, those would be the places you’d need to do it.
Regards,
