Update:
Fixed a minor bug in the Minor League Member Leaderboard, caused by sorting on strings instead of floats, which caused users with scores of '100%' to not appear in the sort results.
This bug only appeared in queries where there were no incorrect answers to trivia questions, and this was only the case with people with a very few answers.
Also,
Added a PHP array of country codes to country name so now the country names appear in the leaderboards instead of the country codes.
