Sorting countries by their name (not their extension)

We are trying to get an alphabetical sorted list in Views with all the countries.

Problem is: the countries are being sorted by their extension. So when there's an ascending sorting going on, you get this phenomenon:

• Austria
• Switzerland (ch)
• China
• Germany (de)
• Spain (es)
• Finland
• Hungary
• Italy

This doesn't make sense ofcourse. There's currently no option to sort countries by their actual name instead of their key (being the coutry's ISO code). Modifying the key doens't sound like a safe idea, especially when there are several translations of the website.

Any idea how this can be solved / worked around?
