sorting us_state_options_for_select() options on the full state name

[ikeo]

This is a little pickle I'm in and I was hopping that one of you folks could help me

I'm trying to use this ROR call

<%= us_state_options_for_select(text) %>

but the states are sorted on the abbreviations, even though the actual states are displayed

so in html
I've got

<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<option value="AL">Alabama</option>
<option value="AR">Arkansas</option>
<option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>

I want Arizona to come before Arkansas, Alabama before Alaska ... etc (as it should alphabetically) is this possible?

us_state_options_for_select is not a standard Rails method (it doesn't appear in the Rails API reference)

Looking at this reference, it appears to be a plug-in. You are going to need to look at the documentation for that plug-in, contact the author of the plug-in or tweak the code yourself. It should just be a case of sorting the array of states, but without the code in front of me, its not possible to tell you the best place to do that.
