Customize Order emails

[hk]

Hi,

I want to customize emails which are sent to vendor/customer.
I have created a template override.
The Bill to/Ship to information is in a tabular form:

	Bill to	Ship to
First name	ABC	XYZ
City	CityA	CityB

However, I need to customize as below:

Bill To:
First_name Last_name
Address_1 Address_2
City Zip
State Country
Phone

Ship To:
First_name Last_name
Address_1 Address_2
City Zip
State Country
Phone

I am able to get the Bill To details using $this->orderDetails['details']['BT']->first_name variables.
I am facing issue in getting the Country and State names.. I am able to get only Country/state ids.

Also, I am not sure how to get for Ship To details. How to check if both billing and shipping information are same?

Please assist.

Thanks.
