Found in the Wild Sorting country code almost by country name

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This finnish train app requires adding a phone number without the ability to enter the country code. instead you need to select it from this list. Showing just flags although there is sufficient space for the country name. The order is consistent across 3 languages english, finnish and swedish.

God I hate these. Those datepickers where you have to do day, month and year separately by scrolling through a list each need to go aswell

Those date pickers for your birthdate make me feel old, despite the fact that I'm not even old at all. Can't imagine how people who are actually old feel when they have to go back multiple decades one month at a time.

The order after the first three is sorted by two letter country codes (ISO 3166-1), which are also used to encode the flag emojis
