SVN commit 491012 by zachmann:

o Don't change the order of the objects in the outline when objects are
  modified. The problem was that the order of the objects was updated
  when one object was selected to bring it to the front. Now only the
  list for displaying the objects is changed and not the list itself.
  
  So now the order of the objects is as intended the z-order of the
  objects. With this it will be possible in future to use the sidebar 
  to change the z-order of the objects.
o Added documentaion to the modified methods.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with either Plasma 5.27 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.3 (the latest released version).
