Screenshot illustrating the problem.

openSUSE 42.2,
$ rpm -q dolphin kate plasma5-workspace-libs
dolphin-17.03.80-81.16.x86_64
kate-17.04.0-4.3.x86_64
plasma5-workspace-libs-5.9.4-306.2.x86_64


mkdir /tmp/dir
cd /tmp/dir
touch a1  a11  a112  a2  a211  a22  a221  a223  a3  a33  a331

Then compare the order of files in the output of "ls -alF" with the order of files in Dolphin or Kate's Open dialog when sorting by name. Clearly, the latter applications are not doing the expected thing.

See attached screenshot.

Works fine here, in the Open file dialog. What's your version of Qt?

For Dolphin, you need to disable Natural Sorting in Settings -> General -> Behavior -> Sorting Mode.
Comment 2 Vadym Krevs 2017-04-26 15:55:22 UTC 
$ rpm -q libQt5Core5
libQt5Core5-5.8.0-287.1.x86_64

Disabling Natural sorting in Dolphin fixes this annoyance is Dolphin only. Is there not a KDE-wide config setting?

openSUSE has a patched kio. See http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/1033668

Should not happen with default repositories, but you are using backport repos.
