  • # Scala, <s>145</s> 130 bytes
  • Saved 15 bytes after looking at [Moshi](https://codegolf.codidact.com/users/53196)'s [solution](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/283376/283383#answer-283383)!
  • ```scala

  • ```
  • [Try it in Scastie!](https://scastie.scala-lang.org/n8cyjLAVRjy3wAso4yQTrQ)
  • It turns out that after dropping the first 2 letters, the first 2 letters after that (and in some cases 1 or 3) are enough to identify colors.
  • ```scala
  • _ sortBy( //Sort the input by this function:
  • "..." //Take the comma separated string of colors
  • .split(",") //Split on commas
  • indexWhere //And find the index where
  • _.substring(2) //The current string with the 1st 2 chars removed
  • .startsWith //Starts with that color prefix
  • )
  • ```
