Description Dom 2025-02-03 10:56:31 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate
2. Activate the Documents Tree in the Plugins Manager
3. Select "Custom Sorting" in the Documents plugin setting
4. Re-arrange your documents
3. Quit Kate
5. Re-open Kate

OBSERVED RESULT
The order of the documents returns to the chronological one (the oldest on top, the newest on the bottom).

EXPECTED RESULT
The custom sorting should be maintained between sessions.

Where exactly do you set this?

Setting -> Configure Kate -> Documents (This is available if you've activated the plugin)
Here there is a drop-down menu after "sort by:"

So, if I understand correctly. 

- you set the setting to custom sorting
- open some docs and do custom sorting
- close and reopen kate
- on reopening the sorting of the open docs isn't retained?

Correct
