| Most of us are dealing with items sorted by color when browsing shops, picking
orders, etc (either sorted by color, or sorted by part, and then for parts that
are of the same type, sorted by color).
Now these colors are all sorted alphabetically. You either end or begin with
Yellow usually and the Dark colors are all at the beginning somewhere.
How about allowing users to modify the order in which colors are listed? I am
thinking some option in your settings somewhere.
I think this benefits both buyers and sellers. As a buyer, you can see the colors
you care about the most at the top, and for me, as a seller, it is very tedious
going back and forth between sorting bins and backs because the colors are all
jumbled up (alphabetical order isn't 'order' to me).
For example, I have items sorted in 3 categories: basic colors, black/white/greys,
and other colors. Whenever someone orders a bunch of an item in each of the colors
I have, I have to go back and forth between the same bags a number of times.
OR, I can pick them one bag at a time, but this increases the risk accidental
skipping a great deal for me.
I would list them to match my 3 category system. I am sure other sellers also
have their preferred order of colors to make picking efficient. I know it probably
doesn't sound like something major, but an interface optimalisation like
this makes MUCH more sense to me than all those options the Bricklink team came
up with in that survey of theirs.

Really no replies? It's a small thing, but a small thing that'd improve
efficiency a tidbit on a daily basis for me. Don't tell me all you guys have
colors sorted alphabetically..
