Question 2

FlagAndCountryCode vs libPhoneNumber for handling phone codes in iOS?

FlagAndCountryCode focuses on providing country data and flags for UI elements, while libPhoneNumber is more comprehensive for parsing, formatting, and validating phone numbers. Use FlagAndCountryCode for visual components and basic data, and libPhoneNumber for complex phone number logic.

You can sort the `CountryFlagInfo.all` array by properties like `name` or `code` using standard Swift methods. The library provides the data, and sorting is handled in your code, such as `CountryFlagInfo.all.sorted { $0.name < $1.name }`.
