We recently received custom development request to change the sequence of the country, state and city input fields in checkout address form. The default sequence of these fields is:
1. City
2. State
3. Country
The request is to reverse it i.e
1. Country
2. State
3. City
We are sharing process mentioning what needs to be adjusted in Magento 2 core.
@Developers: Please find a proper way to do this without directly changing Magento core files
@Non-developers: Please find a developer to do these changes without directly changing Magento core files or email us at [email protected] if you would like us to do this for you.
