Recently scrolling through a list of countries to choose 'United Kingdom' I eventually found it under 'G'. The nearest I can figure, it was previously for 'Great Britain' and was never re-sorted? (Never mind that nobody in the UK has called it Great Britain since maybe mid 20th century!)

People still say Great Britain all the time (it refers to something slightly different than the UK though [1]). It's what the Olympic team is called, for example.

That's true, I forgot about Team GB!

Ahhhhhh I hate this, it happens so many time when you're using a translated software: they proper translate the label, but do not order stuff again. In German, Germany is Deutschland but still comes after France

The ISO 3166 code is GB (the uk. TLD being a grandfathered exception), they might have sorted by that. There would be more cases of “wrong” order in the list, though most of them would be more subtle than that.

That’s probably due to the ISO country code being “GB”.
