I must heartily second this, especially after finagling (yes, it's a word...) 
around with HSBA value-based sorting for a while.  I went through a document, 
adding one degree to the hue value of each successive highlight.  This actually 
didn't create the correct sort order, but I found that if I increased the "step 
size" of the incrementation to about five degrees, I could come up with the 
correct order.

You're an excellent spin doctor--there's certainly a job for you in American 
politics if developing doesn't work out for you. ;)  I actually don't agree on 
any level, precisely because of what I described above.  I'm using a feature 
for something other than it's intended purpose, and it's become the proverbial 
square block that I'm trying to fit into the round hole.  Custom-ordering, by 
any "non-hackish" means, would be helpful to quite a few people, I'd venture to 
guess.

I'm not interested in a long back and forth either, though.  I'm happy to say 
it again: ultimately, I'm enjoying Skim, and it's your call at the end of the 
day.  I'm happy to work around anything that I may see as shortcomings.  Thanks 
again!

Best,
Brennon
