short answer: no
long answer: if you can replicate the logic that has changed the colour of the cells, you can use the same logic in a formula to return a number which can then be sorted on

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

I think there is a VBA way to do this but I'm not that good at it so I bought a system called ASAP utilities which lets you sort by colour as well as other things, always worked for me
P.S. I am in no way connected to the app. just use it as an end user myself

If you do wish to go with a VBA solution, code to do this has been posted on Tek-Tips before. If you need help with that, please create a new thread in forum707.
But I think it is much better to go with Geoff's idea and use the same logic behind why the rows are colored in the first place.
