SUMMARY

This bug is a regression since commit 4b0260eb67bd21.

Since that commit, the order of the sessions in the manager is by date instead of name. This makes the list very hard to read/search, especially when there is a non-trival amount of sessions (well over a hundred). It now requires an extra click to get the list sorted.

Well, in short, The above mentioned commit changed the default sort order without mentioning it in the commit. So that change seems to be unintentional.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Kate, select "Sessions" -> "Manage Sessions..."
2. Notice the list seems unordered, but is actually ordered by the 3rd column
3. Click on the "session Name" column
4. Order is restored, list is ordered by name again

OBSERVED RESULT
List ordered by "Last opened"

EXPECTED RESULT
List ordered by "Session Name", as it used to be.

As this has been merged and I can see that Sessions are listed alphabetically I'll close this report Alex, thanks for the MR!
