Reorder Address Fields

Reorder billing address fields too: country street address city state zip

Justification or use case

This would align with how most address forms flow. It seems odd to have Country and Zip Code between City and State.

Current address fields:

We'd actually need some evidence this is how "most forms are". Maybe Sean or Andrew can look up this data in Baymard's documentation?

Good call Chris!

My initial assumption is we should follow USPS' format - although I understand we need to keep in mind other countries might format differently: Address City, State, Zipcode

I was curious so I pulled some screenshots of different e-commerce platforms. When comparing various platforms, it doesn't appear EDD's billing address order is usual, but it doesn't appear to be the norm.

For what it's worth, when other forms have a similar order to ours, they generally had multiple text boxes on the same line, so it didn't feel as broken up.

Note, some of the platforms allow you to customize the fields so the same platform might have different options:

WooCommerce:

Shopify:

Amazon:

BigCommerce

Gumroad:

Magento

Thanks Daniel, the Baymard data will likely provide some insight as well, and give some statistics on it.

Another request to change the order: https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/963952084/0/?folderId=180499

Makes me wonder if we can integrate the billing address fields into Checkout Fields Manager or via another method so customers can decide.

I like moving "Country" to the top because it still lets the "State" field be determined by the chosen country but doesn't awkwardly put Country as the only one above State.
