Project-system: Assembly neutral language not sorted

[vsfeedback]

When trying to select the neutral language for an assembly it was found that the languages are not sorted. This makes it very hard to find the appropriate language.

Additionally it would be very nice to be able to type in this field and the list of best matches be presented and options to pick. sort of like predictive text.

Should be trivial to sort the list of cultures here

@Pilchie It seems this issue would be perfect for someone who would like to start contributing to the project, So... I'll work on it 😄

[Pilchie]

Awesome - thanks @sputier let us know if you have any questions along the way.

[sputier]

For this kind of tasks, I usually work with LINQ :

Dim AllCultures As CultureInfo() = CultureInfo.GetCultures(CultureTypes.NeutralCultures Or CultureTypes.SpecificCultures Or CultureTypes.InstalledWin32Cultures).
                OrderBy(Function(language) language.DisplayName).ToArray()

Would this kind of code be allowed in this project context ?

[Pilchie]

I'm not worried about the overhead of linq for this - it only happens when the user explicitly drops down the list of cultures. Not exactly a hot-path.

[sputier]

I Submitted a PR for the ordering. Should I also address the second part of the issue (change the combobox AutoCompleteMode to Suggest) ?

[Pilchie]

If you want to I'm not against it. @davkean any thoughts there?

[davkean]

Looks like we're already Append, so switching to SuggestAppend sounds good.

[davkean]

We'll leave this open to address the auto-complete mode.

[sputier]

@Pilchie @davkean As the 2 PRs were merged, the issue can be closed 😄

[Pilchie]

Yes indeed. Thanks again!
