SUMMARY The Documents panel sorts files different than the Projects panel. The actions Previous/Next Document navigate as expected from the Documents panel, but behaves weird when loocking at the Projects panel. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a project (e. g. git) with Makefile, main.c, uart.c 2. Open all files with Kate, and show the Documents panel. Looks like this: main.c Makefile uart.c 3. Show the Projects panel. Look like this: Makefile main.c uart.c 3. Open uart.c, still showing Projects panel. 4. Try to navigate to main.c, using Previous Document (Alt+Up) OBSERVED RESULT Navigates to Makefile EXPECTED RESULT Navigates to main.c, because that is shown directly above uart.c It would be more convenient, if Projects sorts the same way as Documents. I do not see a reason, why Documents should sort case insensitive, and Projects should sort case sensitive, and thus in a different way. Additionally, I found no configuration option for this.

You can change how the Documents panel sorts files from Settings -> Configure kate -> Application -> Documents; it could well be that it's not case sensitivity that's causing the issue, but rather it's sorting by opening order.

The shortcuts navigate in the way the Documents panel is configured. But even if the Documents panel is set to sorting by file name, it still sorts different than the Projects panel.
OK. I could reproduce it.
Git commit aefe636289d60f28b15422cd0136eff1b33a4f9e by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Ahmad Samir. Committed on 08/04/2019 at 17:01. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Project plugin: sort the tree view case insensitively Summary: This matches how the Filetree plugin sorts its tree view, so that using the Next/Previous Document (from Filetree plugin) actions while looking at the Projects panel doesn't skip/jump over files. FIXED-IN: 19.08.0 Test Plan: - Create a git repo that has three files with mixed case names, e.g.: a B c - Open kate and look at the filetree panel and the projects panel, how the files are sorted should match.
