Update 13 Nov: As many commenters have noted the sorting logic on the original demo wasn't all that "logical".

We've now changed it so the first letters of the country name are ranked higher (e.g. typing "Ca" now returns "Canada" at the top instead of "American Samoa", and "In" returns "India" instead of "United States", and so on) as many of you have suggested.

Thanks for the feedback.
