 * How can I use the countries list and have the US be the first/default value? 
   Do I have to manually sort the php file or is there a form command for that?

 * I don’t know if there’s a better way to resolve this, but you could make the 
   default option a “static” value while leaving the Listo list in its default order.
 * For example: [select FieldName “United States” data:countries]

 * Deltafactory This doesn’t seem to work for me. I lose the select box altogether.
 * I would be interested in how to achieve a default entry; in my case “United Kingdom”
   or “–Chose Country–”

 * I think that it works if you put the value last.
 * ‘[select FieldName data:countries “United States”]’
 * I hadn’t actually tested my example before posting. :*)
