SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a .desktop file, that has the executable bit set from /usr/share/applications
2. Observe the order of lines, or just keep it open
3. Right click the file in Dolphin
4. Click Properties
5. Click Permissions
6. Uncheck "is executable"
7. Click Ok

OBSERVED RESULT
The file gets reordered

EXPECTED RESULT
The file stays the same, just not an executable

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested it with org.kde.kmail2.desktop and kdesystemsettings.desktop, both got reordered, but as org.kde.kmail2.desktop had different sections from [Desktop Entry], that became the first, which in turn broke it opening with `gio launch`
