no because i will have some trouble with previous version.

True it's 3kb.

list index. sorting reorders the database.

yes but the solution is not the same with the 0.3.3 and the 1.3.0 version.
 0.3.3: with a color chooser application the green is the OK color (if you understand)
 0.3.4: with a resource editor.
a plugin will see the light.
