Anyone know of a hue sort stack?

Perhaps you're overthinking this?  If you create a gradient and divide it
into 20 slices or whatever number you need, you simply need to number the
slices from 1 to 20 and evaluate the slice order at runtime.  The RGB values
are essentially unnecessary.  I may be missing something in your
description, but it seems the app can be built quite simply.

(BTW, I got 0 wrong on the Web test -- does this mean I'm sane or on the
edge?)
