Prioritize countries

Define a list of countries which should be listed as first options in the form element:

Display another language

A combination of optionLabelField and alternativeLanguage is possible. For instance, if you want to show the localized official names but not in your default language but in French. You can achieve this by using the following combination:

<f:form.countrySelect
  name="country"
  optionLabelField="localizedOfficialName"
  alternativeLanguage="fr"
  sortByOptionLabel="true"
/>

Bind an object

You can also use the "property" attribute if you have bound an object to the form. See <f:form> for more documentation.
