Answer 1

There is no 'silver bullet' in List, that is able to solve the task, but it possess several useful methods for the case. There could be several ways to solve the problem. For instance, I'm proposing the remove/insert way:

  List<String> colour = ["peach","red","orange","yellow","white","pink","red","maroon", "pink", "red"];
  for (int i = 0; i < colour.length; i++) {
    int indexOfPossibleDuplication = colour.lastIndexOf(colour[i]);
    if (indexOfPossibleDuplication > i) {
      colour.removeAt(indexOfPossibleDuplication);
      colour.insert(i, colour[i]);
    }
  }
  print(colour); //[peach, red, red, red, orange, yellow, white, pink, pink, maroon]

I deliberately inserted several duplicates to your input example in order to show that the code do the trick in cases, when there is more than one duplication took place.
