Interesting. 
How exactly do you "order by color"?
Alphabetically? Is it chartreuse [C] or green [G] or cyan [C] or blue [B]?
Colors arranged by saturation? Hue? Value? Chromaticity ? By a perceptually
uniform color space? Symmetrically by hue? How do you tilt the color space
presented? Do you want to "color-coordinate" by, say, 'clashing' or
'complimentary' colors? Do you want to account for the nuances of color
naming patterns by gender, ethnicity, education, nationality, etc?

A good example, indeed, to prove the point that there are different ways to
skin a cat.
