It's not standard functionality but you could put a UDF (User Defined
Function) in the workbook and then enter it in another column and sort by
that.

=ReturnColorIndex(A1)

UDF (Place in a standard module in the workbook)

Function ReturnColorIndex(rCell As Range) As Integer
Application.Volatile True
ReturnColorIndex = rCell.Interior.ColorIndex
End Function

While waiting for MS to make the changes in the next version you should visit
Chip Pearson's site to see what's available for working with colors.

The code goes in a general module inside that workbook's project (in the VBE).

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
