Maybe order the countries from highest fee to lowest fee?

Good idea, but what order are these in? By fee would work, or by UEFA, CONMEBOL, etc.

The order is the FIFA rankings, perhaps I might add an extra column making that clearer. I thought doing it in order of fee might make it boring with all the best players at the top and the worst ones at the bottom. Thanks for the feedback!
