Title: Sorting by translated country names rather than their ISO-Code

I would appreciate it, if you could build in a sorting by country name, as for my mother language German, the list of countries is quite different than to the ISO-Codes. My fork is using another Gem for the advanced alphabetical sorting with UTF8 character. Maybe the commits are of some help for you?
