-###Demo
-http://blazeworx.github.io/flagstrap
-
-###Usage
-
-####Basic
-
-```html
-<form class="form-horizontal">
-	<div class="form-group">

-        <div class="flagstrap" data-input-name="country"></div>
-    </div>
-</form>
-```
-
-```html
-<script>
-    $('.flagstrap').flagStrap();
-</script>
-```
-
-####Options
-
-#####Using Data Attributes
-This example will create a Flagstrap Dropdown giving the input field the name of `country` with all countries available and `Germany` pre selected and in a `scrollable` dropdown with `max-height` of `250px`.
-
-```html
-<form>
-    <div class="form-group">
-        <label>Select Country</label><br>
-        <div id="flagstrap2"
-             data-input-name="country2"

-        buttonSize: "btn-lg",
-        buttonType: "btn-primary",
-        labelMargin: "20px",

+```
+
+This example will create a Flagstrap Dropdown using an array of objects instead, giving the plugin users the possibility to specify the order of the countries. Arrays can be sorted but objects not.
+
+United states will be first in the list in this case.
+
+```html
+<script>
+    $('#flagstrap3').flagStrap({
+        countries: [
+            {"US": "United States"},
+            {"AU": "Australia"},
