SUMMARY The profiles in the konsole profile applet appear to be unordered. The sequence in which the profiles are listed changes with each new KDE session and there doesn't appear to be any way to sort the list, either in a configuration setting or dynamically. If you have more than a handful of profiles the usefulness of this applet is greatly diminished. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a few konsole profiles 2. Click on the konsole profile applet - the profiles are listed in a random seeming order. 3. Log out of your KDE session and log back in 4. Click on the konsole profile applet - the profiles are listed in a different random seeming order. OBSERVED RESULT The profiles are listed in a random and changing order. EXPECTED RESULT The profiles should be listed in a fixed order (sequenced by profile name maybe) or the user should be able to determine the presentation sequence via a configuration setting or on-screen dynamic option. If giving the user sequencing options is too complicated the applet should at least present the profiles in a fixed unchanging sequence so that the user can 'learn' where the profiles appear in the list. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 32 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This problem is similar to but not quite the same as bug 173834 which was fixed in KDE 4 in 2014.
I've just opened the bug #431483 which is the same as this because I didn't find it before. And I can confirm this issue is still not fixed.

Still not solved. It is not important, but is very annoying when you have a long list of profiles. Please...

I have about 30+ servers, which I administer with ssh (Konsole Profiles), and they are show not only unsorted, they are sort in some randomly order after each restart Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8
Same here. Over 25 konsole profiles with changing ordering within konsole task bar applet. openSUSE LEAP 15.3 KDE Frameworks 5.76.0 Qt 5.12.7 (compiled to 5.12.7) KDE Plasma Version 5.18 LTS
for now: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 profiles are listed in a random and changing order try to wrote to author Shaun Reich (shaun.reich@kdemail.net) without any results
It's really weird. The applet has a sorting functionality built into it. I guess it doesn't work properly.
