Hi Sweta,

Greetings to you!

Below is the sample code which I have tested in my org and it is working fine. Kindly modify the code as per your requirement.

Visualforce: 
<apex:selectList value="{!country}" size="1">
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!Countries}" />
   </apex:selectList>

Controller: 
public List<SelectOption> getCountries(){
    optionsCountryMainList = new list<SelectOption>();
    optionsCountrySubList = new list<SelectOption>();

    optionsCountryMainList.add(new SelectOption('', '-- Select Country --', true)); 

    optionsCountryMainList.add(new SelectOption('USA','USA'));
    optionsCountryMainList.add(new SelectOption('UK','UK'));

    for(Country__c country : [SELECT Id, Name From Country__c]){
        if(country.Name !='USA' && country.Name !='UK')
        optionsCountrySubList.add(new SelectOption(country.Name, country.Name));
    }


    optionsCountrySubList.sort();  
    optionsCountryMainList.addAll(optionsCountrySubList);
    return optionsCountryMainList;
}

Or you can use Order By in SOQL.
  
public List<SelectOption> getCountries(){
        optionsCountryMainList = new list<SelectOption>();
        optionsCountrySubList = new list<SelectOption>();

        optionsCountryMainList.add(new SelectOption('', '-- Select Country --', true)); 

        optionsCountryMainList.add(new SelectOption('USA','USA'));
        optionsCountryMainList.add(new SelectOption('UK','UK'));

        for(Country__c country : [SELECT Id, Name From Country__c order by Name]){
            if(country.Name !='USA' && country.Name !='UK')
            optionsCountrySubList.add(new SelectOption(country.Name, country.Name));
        }

        optionsCountryMainList.addAll(optionsCountrySubList);
        return optionsCountryMainList;
    }

I hope it helps you.
