Excel VBA - Apply auto filter and Sort by specific colour

Question

I have an auto-filtered range of data. The auto filter was created by the following VB code:

Sub Colour_filter()

Range("A4").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.AutoFilter

End Sub

I would like to sort the values in column "A" (the data actually start from cell "A4") by the following colour ( Color = RGB(255, 102, 204) ) so all the cells with that colour sort to the top.

It would be fab if the extra code could be added to my existing code?

My office is really noisy and my VB isn’t the best. It is doubly hard with laughing, chatting ladies all about. Any help will be stress relief heaven!! (p.s. no poke at the ladies it’s just my office is 95% women).

My requested code forms part of a larger code which would confuse matters, although here is a slimmed down version of the aspect I currently need.

Sub Colour_filter()
' Following code( using conditional formatting) adds highlight to 'excluded' courses based
'on 'course code' cell value matching criteria. Courses codes matching criteria are highlighted
'in 'Pink'; as of 19-Nov-2012 the 'excluded' course codes are
'(BIGTEST, BIGFATCAT).

    Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
    .Color = 13395711
   End With

Well here is a small Sub that does the following sorting as per shown image. Most of the values like dimensions/range sizes are very static since this is a sample. You may improve it to be dynamic. Please comment if this code is going in the right direction so I can update with the final sort.

EDITTED CODE WITH DOUBLE SORT KYES

code: Option Explicit

Sub sortByColor() Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer Dim inputArray As Variant, colourSortID As Variant Dim colourIndex As Long

Set rng = Sheets(1).Range("D2:D13")
colourIndex = Sheets(1).Range("G2").Interior.colorIndex

 ReDim inputArray(1 To 12)
 ReDim colourSortID(1 To 12)

For i = 1 To 12
    inputArray(i) = rng.Cells(i, 1).Interior.colorIndex
    If inputArray(i) = colourIndex Then
        colourSortID(i) = 1
    Else
        colourSortID(i) = 0
    End If
Next i

'--output the array with colourIndexvalues and sorting key values
 Sheets(1).Range("E2").Resize(UBound(inputArray) + 1) = _ 
                   Application.Transpose(inputArray)
 Sheets(1).Range("F2").Resize(UBound(colourSortID) + 1) = _ 
                   Application.Transpose(colourSortID)

 '-sort the rows based on the interior colour
 Application.DisplayAlerts = False
 Set rng = rng.Resize(, 3)

    rng.Sort Key1:=Range("F2"), Order1:=xlDescending, _
    Key2:=Range("E2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
    OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
    DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

 Application.DisplayAlerts = True

 End Sub

output:
