Attachments: Order of Plasma Search results in Kickoff

Order of Plasma Search results in Kickoff

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Go to Settings > Search > Plasma Search
2. Under "Favorite Plugins", make sure e.g. "Applications" is first (order can be changed by drag&drop) and Apply
3. Open Kickoff App Launcher and start typing the name of an installed appilcation

OBSERVED RESULT
Desired order of categories of search results  from Settings is  not observed, in my case:

Order in Settings:
Applications, System Settings, File Search, Dictionary

Order in Kickoff Search:
Folders, Images, Text, Files, Documents, Applications, System Settings, Contacts

EXPECTED RESULT
Actual order of search results matches the one set in Settings for Plasma Search

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I filed this bug specifically for Kickoff (not Plasma Search), because using KRunner, the order is yet a bit different (Folders, Documents, Files, Images, Texts, Apps, System Settings, Contacts), albeit still not respecting the one from Settings.
Comment 1 John Kizer 2025-01-13 20:21:12 UTC
Hi - I believe, although showing up slightly differently in each location, the Kickoff and KRunner observed results stem from the same general underlying KRunner code (based on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431204), so I'm merging this together with the existing "Search result ordering" bug. Thanks!
