John: yes, he chooses English language, then he sees all possible variants (UK, US, NZ, AU, IE, ZA,…)

How does one choose the en_GB (international) layout via the new language selection?
Choose English and then two sets of variants … ?

Sven, I am trying to make “popular choices” fast for users. The list is large enough… Within same group (by popularity) countries are sorted alphabetically

I don’t see why you would want to sort the list other than alphabetically. There is no good reason to have English before Albanian and it certainly makes it a lot more difficult to locate the entry that one is looking for.

Bastien, I AM using really iso-codes for translation of ISO codes to textual descriptions (one of the last commits to g-c-c introduced that dependency)! But the layout names are not always just language/country names.
