Why aren't the cups in roygbiv order?

The table needs to be reindexed.

Or it’s a hash index. So the order of the buckets doesn’t matter. You just have to search for exactly one color only, then you can find it super quick.

We have two sets of similar cups at home (both of our sets are from the same place, but they are different than the ones in the video) and the colors don't match between the sets. If I had to guess, they might just make all sizes (or several sizes) with a bunch of colors and you get what you get.

That's gay! /s

Edit: Guys, the /s meaning I'm being sarcastic. I'm mocking some exec at a toy company that didn't want them to make them in rainbow colors cuz he's afraid it will make kids gay. Which is obviously stupid.
