Eswatini , Swaziland

Hello,

I am trying to figure out where to put a coin from Swaziland in the file.  The issuer index has it under E for Eswatini but when Iisted it , it appears in my collection between Sao Tome and Saudi Arabia. My inclination is to file between Suriname and Sweden which would make more sense to me .

Any thoughts on the why and wherefore?

I'm not sure about the question, but the country is called Eswatini, so after Estonia would make most sense, I reckon. 🤷

Yep, that's where it is.

So then why is it in between Sao Tome and Saudi Arabia in the drop down in my collection and not under Eswatini as say, Ceylon is under Sri Lanka or Rhodesia is under Zimbabwe?

Well now, that is a different question but a damn good one. I don't know.

If you only have coins from Swaziland (none from Eswatini) then the drop down order is to put Swaziland with the S countries. If you have coins from both Swaziland and Eswatini then the drop down order is Swaziland with the E's under Eswatini. I don't think this is intended but the experts will have to answer. Why yours even being with the S countries is still not alphabetically correct is a mystery. @Xavier It should be noted that regardless of having coins from both or not the actual Collection ordering is always with the E countries.
