Tell us what you are trying to do?
Add "United States" twice in a country drop-down select (once at the top and once alphabetically)

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I don't know

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi Jason,

Following up on our earlier discussion, you can also use "wpt_field_options" filter, to find the select option for "United States" and add its duplicate on top:

add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'func_to_duplicate_us_option', 10, 3);
function func_to_duplicate_us_option( $options, $title, $type ){
	if ($title == "test") {

			$find = "us";
			$options_temp_default = $options[0];

			for ($i=1; $i < count($options) ; $i++) { 
			
				$options_new[] = $options[$i];
				if( $options[$i]['#value'] == $find) {
					$options_temp_req = $options[$i];
				}
			}

			array_unshift($options_new, $options_temp_req);
			array_unshift($options_new, $options_temp_default);

			$options = $options_new;
	}
	return $options;
}

The above code can be added in active theme's "functions.php" file and you'll replace "test" with the actual "Field name" set for the relevant custom field, in the settings.

note: To make this function work for more than one select fields, you can update the line:

if ($title == "test") {

To:

if ( ($title == "test") || ($title == "test1") ) {
