Motivation for this patch is that I would like to use the following code snippet in https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/sketch-mode.html. ``` (let ((list-colors-sort 'hsv)) (list-colors-display (mapcar #'car shr-color-html-colors-alist) nil)) ``` The snippet passes colors form the shr-color-html-colors-alist variable to list-colors-display. However, currently, despite the docstring suggesting to me something different, the list-colors-display function only applies its sort functionality if no list is passes as argument. I don't see a good reason for that limitation, because the limitation is set using a when condition, while the sort function works perfectly fine with custom color-lists (e.g. try the snippet above). So this patch simply removes the (when (null list)) condition, and passes the list, if given, to the sort functionality. Adapting the docstring is not necessary as it already suggests that the sort functionality works in general. With this patch, I can offer a great sorted color selection menu, providing only colors supported by SVG.
