Canada is Always 3rd, Almost

Pet Peeve:
Sites who have significant amounts of "drop downage" lists to help populate a form.
Country: Canada - you can either scroll like the Dickens, or tap the "C" key. 3 times - Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada. Screw it up - the 4th tap lands you in Cape Verde - and then the adventure to find Canada begins again.

I am loving the sites that list Canada as the first tap - it's like they've circumvented the whole alphabetical order, if only to make more sense.
really.

I run into similar issues hunting for Minnesota on state drop-down menus. A strange one I saw today defaulted to Alaska for the first state in the drop-down, which was odd since it was a local business where anything other than Minnesota for the default didn't make sense.

I hear you - i think I just chalk it up to lazy web design ;-)

Thanks Ed!!!
