Sometimes when you do survey research, you want to randomize the order of things to make sure that results aren’t biased by whatever shows up first.
Selecting a home country is not one of those times. I don’t know what Amazon was thinking.
The right way to present a list like this is alphabetical, with the most common countries (and geo located countries) at the top.
Not commonly done, but better: repeat countries at the top in the alphabetical section.
