No, functional because the position of the blanks has symbolic meaning to the
color table they represent. 

Fortunately the new Area fill dialog shows the whole palette. But the 12x7 (or
12x8 as yours shows) of the swatch picker crops the color table. 

With your suggested inverted layout, after the gray scale in the 1st row--the
2nd and 3rd rows of 10% and 20% values are not of much use. It positions the
30% values in the 4th row, while cutting off view of the more useful 73% and
82% level Magenta, Cyan and Yellow. They are less significant/useful colors so
invert and position 10% and 20% to the bottom where it does not matter if they
are not always visible. The blanks in the upper rows have relative meaning.
