As a lover of the sort-by-color column, I hope that we can love it as it is, and not so infuriate Christiaan with our quibbles that he removes it from future versions. It really is very useful to me.

I monitored this discussion with some interest. It seems to me that if
we're going to talk about fringe features, sorting based on color
would be up there. There's not even a well-defined sorting order since
it's a multidimensional space... ;-)
There clearly is a well-defined order (i.e. based on 8-bit HSBA
components), however there is no 1-dimensional ordering of colors that
matches our natural perception of colorspace.

The problem is that there are *more* than one well-defined order,
which makes it not well-defined... Why HSBA and not RGBA? Or CMYK? Or
any arbitrary redefinition of these?

cheers,
