Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Konsole allows you to manage saved profiles which is very useful, but after adding a few they can become messy. It is difficult to find profiles once more than 10 are added. It would be really useful if there was the ability to sort saved profiles, even if this was just on alphabetical by default. Behavior/To reproduce: Add a new saved profile Click "file" to open menu, see saved profiles listed in order of creation Expected behavior: Add a new saved profile Click "file" to open menu, see saved profiles in easy to find alphabetical order
Can only confirm that this is a real problem when having a lot of saved profiles.

Yeah, It would be nice if this was fixed!
/+1. I've an exact copy of my default set of profiles on each of my machines. (I usually just sync the ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/*.profile files) ... Sadly enough, the order in which this profiles appear on each machine is radically different. Very disturbing. - Gilboa
... and it would be even better, if the profiles could also be grouped in a menu-like fashion (like the bookmarks). However, I see that this might be even more work, so allowing them to be sorted manually (please not only alphabetically) would be fine for now. As a side note, I would hope to find the same feature in the konsole profile plasmoid (see bug 173834).
How about having the profiles in the Manage Profile dialog be drag-n-drop to re-order them? This would allow the user to move them around to the order they want. The coding seems doable at first glance. Perhaps having a check box on the side for 'Sort Alphabetically'?
Any type of order, as long it's consistent across different machines, it better that the current random order...
SVN commit 919994 by hindenburg: A temporary fix; profiles will only be sorted upon startup and new window. CCBUG:168530 M +14 -2 ProfileList.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=919994
Also, the order of the profiles in konsole's settings->ChangeProfile and settings->ManageProfiles seems to be different than the ordering in the "Konsole Profiles" plasmoid. If you add a way to manually sort the profiles within konsole, please make sure that the "Konsole Profiles" plasmoid uses the same order.
Any idea when this patch will land? 4.2.3? 4.3? - Gilboa
I'm trying for 4.3. The GUI portion is more complicated that I thought. If nothing else I may just put in sorting if users manually edit the profiles.
Thanks for the update. - Gilboa
SVN commit 959584 by hindenburg: Add support for reading the profiles' menu index (favorites) from the profile file. This patch doesn't write the index, only reads.

SVN commit 959590 by hindenburg: Code to handle moving the profiles in the menu. Move buttons disabled for now until code to write profiles' menu index is committed (written).

Fixed in 4.3/4.4rc1. Thanks! Bug can be closed.
I'm using 4.5 SC and sort doesn't work. Any idea what's wrong? - Gilboa
I'm using 4.5.1. The "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons are greyed out. I can't sort profiles.
The up/down are disabled as it wasn't as easy as I thought to implement them. I've redone the dialog which should allow DND. I'm hoping to get this in 4.6
I should note that sorting is completely broken in SC 4.5 on two machines.
Any updates? I'm 4.6b2 and as far as I could see, profiles are still unsorted. - Gilboa
*** Bug 232025 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Any chance of getting this included in 4.8. - Gilboa
Created attachment 64623 [details] profiles are sorted alphabetically From my observation and understanding of the code, konsole currently does sort profiles alphabetically. 1). favorite profiles("Show In Menu" checked) come before non-favorite profiles. They are sorted alphabetically. 2). non-favorite profiles are also sorted alphabetically. If that is not the case, check the "MenuIndex=..." line in your profiles on the disk. That line should be "MenuIndex=0" to guarantee above behavior. I am using the devel version.
Switching all .profile files to MenuIndex=0 solved the problem, thanks! IMHO bug can be closed. - Gilboa
IMHO this *old* report can be closed as fixed as profiles are sorted in alphabetical order.
In which version is it/will it be fixed? I just tried it in konsole 2.8.5 of kde 4.8.5, and the order displayed is still the order of creation, not alphabetical
(In reply to comment #26) > In which version is it/will it be fixed?

If not, read the "If" part in comment #23. Hmm, I probably need to write one kconf_upgrade script to automatically remove those problematic "MenuIndex=" entries. I wasn't aware of kconf_upgrade when posting comment #23, as a newbie to KDE development. (In reply to comment #25) > IMHO this *old* report can be closed as fixed as profiles are sorted in > alphabetical order. I prefer to leave this report open for more time. I still think allowing more sorting methods is a good idea.

Jekyll Wu, if you intend to add further sort methods, please have a look at bug #168530, which is about sorting Konsole profiles in the "Konsole Profiles"-Widget. It might be related to this bug. Thanks!
(In reply to comment #30) > ... please have a look at bug #168530 ... Sorry, I made a copy&paste error. I meant bug #173834.
It's worse in the last many version, I power off my machine each night, next day or after a reboot the order of the konsole profiles widget is random, NEVER the same order, at least if it could stay in one order that would be great. I have close to 100 entries, and it's a problem. Thanks for reading. Qt: 5.14.2 KDE Frameworks: 5.70.0 konsole 19.12.3
I have the same issue with the KDevelop plasmoid :/ (They behave very similar)
They are in a consistent order in the dataengine added. This is just a problem in the UI, but I am not very familiar with QML and not at all familiar with the plasma components.
Profiles have been sorted alphabetically for quite some time in Konsole; does anyone still see this issue?
Looks OK to me - if OP agrees I's mark it a sRESOLVED
Closing, feel free to reopen if you still see this issue.
Operating System: Kubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 In my case the profiles are not sorted alphabetically. In the "Manage profiles" settings of konsole they are sorted correctly. But in the konsole profiles they are completely unsorted.
I have missed a word: "But in the konsole profiles WIDGET they are completely unsorted."
By widget you mean a plasma applet? if so, please file a new bug report against kdeplasma-addons, which is where that applet comes from.
Ah, ok, sorry. I have not noticed that this report only regards to the konsole settings itself. (I have reported a plasma widget sorting issue in earlier already. I am going to find it again.) I now set the status back to fixed.
No problem.
