awesome! thx for your help on this one.

nice ! You saved the day.

Unfortunatly not really working for me.
I have written by my own ;)

function cf_sort_hex_colors($colors) {
        $sorted = [];
        foreach ($colors as $color) {
            if (strlen($color) == 6) {
                $key = "";
                for($i=0;$i<6;$i++)
                {
                    $key .= sprintf('%02d',$this->map[substr($color, $i, 1)]);
                }
                $sorted[$key] = $color;
            }
        }

        ksort($sorted);
        return array_values($sorted);
    }

The color array is that way : ['eeeeee','ffffff', ...]. If the color code are using # juste add (as seen in the upper example :
$color = strtolower(str_replace('#', '', $color)); at the line 10 of the function replace $sorted[$key] = $color; by $sorted[$key] = '#'.$color;
