Re-assigning to Matthew.

this is the code doing the sorting - I don't understand what it's doing, so I'm probably not the best person to suggest a fix. 

sub getCountries : Private {
        my ( $self, $c, $default ) = @_;

        my $countries = $c->cache->get( 'countries' );

        if ( !$countries ) {
                $countries = {};
                for my $code ( Geography::Countries::code2() ) {
                        $countries->{ $code } = Geography::Countries::country( $code );
                }
                $c->cache->set( 'countries', $countries, 86400 * 7 );
        }

        # Re-sort countries
        tie my %sorted, 'Tie::IxHash';
        for my $key ( sort { $countries->{$a} cmp $countries->{$b} } keys %{$countries} ) {
                $sorted{$key} = $countries->{$key};
        }

        return \%sorted;
}

Fixed in r2468, TT code was buggy.

Verified fixed in SqueezeNetwork r2487/r17521, HW Beta (dc)
