What order do you sort colored pencils in?
One simple way to do this is simply to lump together pencils by color family. For example, say you have a caddy with seven spaces.

Why do my colored pencils keep breaking?
The fact is, no matter how carefully you sharpen the pencils, the lead inside the colored pencils can still break.
