I have created the following method:

public List<String> listAll() {
    List worldCountriesByLocal = new ArrayList();

    for (Locale locale : Locale.getAvailableLocales()) {
        final String isoCountry = locale.getDisplayCountry();
        if (isoCountry.length() > 0) {
            worldCountriesByLocal.add(isoCountry);
            Collections.sort(worldCountriesByLocal);
        }
    }
    return worldCountriesByLocal;
}

Its pretty simple and it returns a list of world countries in the users locale. I then sort it to get it alphabetic. This all works perfectly (except I seem to occasionally get duplicates of countries!).

Anyway, what I need is to place the US, and UK at the top of the list regardless. The problem I have is that I can't isolate the index or the string that will be returned for the US and UK because that is specific to the locale!

Any ideas would be really appreciated.
