Put the ZIP code first.

It's 2026. A ZIP code is 5 characters. From those 5 characters you get city, state, and country. 3 fields. Autofilled. Put it first, you animals.

@tg it seems to be a standard thing when supplying a UK address to start with the post code (zip code equivalent) and then to select the address (there are only a few houses that have the same post code). I've done the same in Canada too.

@nxskok @tg I'm not surprised. The US is the most hostile to unconventional innovations that make life easier, yet docile when it comes to accepting any outlandish change that makes a rich man richer.

@nxskok @tg My favourite forms are the ones where you just start typing the street address and it very quickly works out the rest.

I live on a street with about 100 houses sharing the same UK postcode.... starting postcode first usually means I end up scrolling through 50 “house numbers” before I find mine.

@nxskok @tg same in Brazil. It's pretty standard for forms to ask for the equivalent of zip code and prefill almost the full address.
I wonder if using this strategy breaks down when you have people from multiple countries entering their respective zip codes that all have their idiosyncrasies?
