Step 4 − Under the topic Sort On, select the type of sort. To sort by cell color, select Cell Color. To sort by font color, select Font Color.

Step 5 − Click on the option Cell Color.
Step 6 − Under Order, click the arrow next to the button. The colors in that column are displayed.

Step 7 − You must define the order that you want for each sort operation because there is no default sort order. To move the cell color to the top or to the left, select On Top for column sorting and On Left for row sorting.
