unexplainable behavior of color picker on product list

[coolpapes]

I can't figure out how the order of the little color picker boxes on the product list is determined.  The colors are displayed in one order on the product list and a different order on the product page.  Here's a link to the product list:

The order on the product page is the order of the colors in the list of values in the BO but the order on the product list makes no sense.  I am using 1.6.0.8 but have updated product-list-colors.tpl with the latest forge update.  I just cannot figure this out.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hello

It would be so much better for you if you post your topic in just one forum.

 

Posting a topic in more than one forum might be great for you but it makes it harder for other members to find a solution to the same/similar problem.

 

Hope you do not mind me mentioning this.

I initially posted this in the ecommerce section but then thought it would be better here but then couldn't figure out how to delete the first one.  If you tell me how I'll go ahead and delete the other post.  Thanks

I think the problem is in the product-list-colors.tpl :

<ul class="color_to_pick_list clearfix">
	{foreach from=$colors_list  item='color'}
		<li>
			<a href="{$link->getProductLink($color.id_product, null, null, null, null, null, $color.id_product_attribute)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" id="color_{$color.id_product_attribute|intval}" class="color_pick"style="background: {$color.color};">
				{if file_exists($col_img_dir|cat:$color.id_attribute|cat:'.jpg')}
					<img src="{$img_col_dir}{$color.id_attribute|intval}.jpg" alt="{$color.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$color.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" width="36" height="36" />
				{/if}
			</a>
		</li>
	{/foreach}
</ul>

I can't find where the $colors_list  array is set, not that I would know what to do if I did find it.  Can anyone help?  I need to get this figured out.  Thank you.
