Hello. My name is Violet (aka Miss Lissa) and I unconsciously, but compulsively, sort things before I eat them.
Skittles, M&M's, Smarties (both the American and Canadian varieties), DOTS, Mike & Ike's, JuJu Bees, Swedish Fish, you name it. I unconsciously sort and group these things by color/flavor before eating them.
If I don't I may just spontaneously combust or something.

I have the same affliction. I also arrange them into patterns, and consume the ones that don't fit into the pattern.
So if I have 3 Red, 4 Purple, 3 Green, and 2 Yellow, I'll eat one of the green ones... And then arrange them like so:
P Y G P R P R P G Y P
Then I eat them such that there's still a pattern... So I'd probably eat the middle purple one first. And then each of the other colors in twos until they're all gone.
Sad thing is that I don't even notice that I'm doing it until I'm halfway through the eating-in-twos part.
My brain is constantly watching for and noticing patterns -- and creating them. Drives me nuts sometimes.
Scratch that... FIVE purple ones.
Yeesh. Elaine should edit before posting.
