This code worked except my options weren’t ordered correctly. The option_order arg didn’t work. It looks like option_order does not get saved in the database. Instead I used the following code where it uses whatever order the country array is in:

`function your_plugin_activation() {
//country
wh_add_country_list();
}
//on activation or if you add this to functions use add_action ‘bp_init’
register_activation_hook(__FILE__, ‘your_plugin_activation’);

function wh_add_country_list() {
if (xprofile_get_field_id_from_name(‘Country’)) return;

add_filter(‘xprofile_field_options_before_save’, ‘wh_countries’);
add_filter(‘xprofile_field_default_before_save’, ‘wh_country_option_default’);
$country_list_args = array(
‘field_group_id’ => 1,
‘type’ => ‘selectbox’,
‘name’ => ‘Country’,
‘description’ => ‘Please select your country’,
‘is_required’ => true,
‘can_delete’ => false,
‘order_by’ => ‘default’
);
$country_list_id = xprofile_insert_field($country_list_args);
remove_filter(‘xprofile_field_options_before_save’, ‘wh_countries’);
remove_filter(‘xprofile_field_default_before_save’, ‘wh_country_option_default’);
}

function wh_country_option_default() {
return array(‘US’ => 1);
}

function wh_countries() {
return array(
‘US’ => ‘United States’
//list of other countries
);
}`
