OK, I think you are correct, and furthermore a caller can disable
sorting themselves by let-binding `list-colors-sort'.  So I've pushed
your patch to master, after fixing it up to follow our conventions for
ChangeLog, etc.  (See commit eb07b3d9b3.)

However, I skipped this hunk,

     If the optional argument BUFFER-NAME is nil, it defaults to \"*Colors*\".

as it would lead to this incorrectly filled docstring,

    Display names of defined colors, and show what they look like.
    If the optional argument LIST is non-nil, it should be a list of
    colors to display.  Otherwise, this command computes a list of
    colors that the current display can handle.  Customize
    ‘list-colors-sort’ to change the order in which colors are shown.
    Type g after customizing ‘list-colors-sort’ to redisplay colors in

You had missed that "\" character, which indicates a continued line.

In the future, you could send the patch using "git format-patch -1 HEAD"
to get a full git patch with your author details already filled in.
That makes it easier for us to install.  Thanks for the patch!
