Search API Addressfield Country Name

What's this module for?

This module adds a Search API field processor which converts the 2-letter country code into the full country name for the Country component of an Address field.

Motivating for creating the module

When creating a View based on the search index, I was able to select the country as a field and use the "Use human-readable name" checkbox to render the full country name. But when adding an exposed Sort field for country, the view would sort records by their country code. That created a problem where Germany (DE) would always appear before France (FR). Using this module to convert the 2-letter country code into the full country name causes sorting to work correctly on the country name.

How to use it

1. Create a Search API index for a node/entity that contains an Address field (i.e. "Postal Address" on the fields page).
2. On the Fields tab, select the country component to be indexed as a String (e.g. "Address » Country").
3. On the Filters tab under the Processors section, click "Address field: Convert country code to name", then scroll down to Processor Settings and select the Country field (from step 2).
4. Re-index your items.
5. Edit your view to add the Country field as an exposed sort field.
