We also encourage a switch from the current sorting on numbers to an
alphabetical order of the colors

Hmmm, I’m not sure that helps me any. If I can’t remember the
number for a color, I’d rather they were clustered by basic color
first, then alphabetically by the actual name. Like this:
Green: Bright Green
Green: Dark Green
Green: Earth Green
If I can’t have something like that, I’d rather just sort by number.

I think group sub-sorting might be more trouble than it’s worth. Editors can
just sort the colors by Hue-Saturation-Brightness. That’s what Bricksmith
does. It’s a simple mathematical transformation.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! I just didn’t say it right. ;)
If you’re not going to list the colors in ldconfig.ldr sorted by number then
pick a useful ordering like Hue-Saturation-Brightness. Alphabetic order
is not much better than random.
By the way, what’s up with the grays in the bricksmith list? Not pure
enough to get placed near the top of the list between black and white?
Is there any way to tweak that?
