sort by highlite color

[Guest]

As an option to data sort, sorting by cell highlight color would be very
useful. Since all color have a distinct number, it would be alternative sort
when a list can not be sorted by a common item (Po number, Acct number....).
This would allow the row to be combined by a cell's particular color (dollor
amount, but in non-sequencial PO number)
