How to sort language select list on current language context





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I have a form with a language field with the language select list widget.
The options of this field contains an array with a pattern like



['langcode' => t('language')]


Now I want to sort these options in the right order.



The default sorting is on the value but not on the translated one.



e.g. ['de' => t('german')] which I translated into "Deutsch" will now sort under "g" instead of "d".



So I did try to do it in a form alter hook and a preprocess hook but this is not the right place to do it, because the values are still untranslated here.



So my question is how can I sort these options if the values are translated?

          $language_options = $form['languages'];


          then manipulate the array $language_options, until it has the order you need
          then override it in form :



          $form['languages'] = $language_options;

          • The problem is that the values are untranslated in a form_alter_hook. I could sort it by key but this also doesnt work because the langcode differs from the value.

          This worked for me.

          $new_language_options[$langcode] = $language->render();
