Created attachment 109417 [details] sorting in ark
I can confirm that. In Dolphin, you can choose if you want to sort using "Natural sorting" or "Alphabetical sorting" (and then insensitive or sensitive). By default, dolphin sorts with natural mode. In Ark, there is no settings to choose a sorting mode, but default one is "Alphabetical". So, there is a mismatch in default sorting mode. I think that it should be consistent in all KDE apps by default.
