I re-checked my result and see that It *does* add the option to the end of the list, which I hadn't realized because even though it is the last element it still comes up as the top option in my dropdowns, which is what I was looking for. (ie, when you look at the elements in the list, "Select A Country" is listed under "Zimbabwe", but when the page loads the dropdown says, as it should, "Select A Country".
