Created attachment 185892 [details] shortcuts before rebooting SUMMARY A user was experiencing this problem and so i tested to see if a bunch of shortcuts would get rearranged after rebooting the pc and it did, i have sorting set to manual also in the desktop folder setting, thinking maybe that would fix it but it doesn't. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create lots of app shortcuts on the desktop 2. Remember the position or take a screenshot of them 3. Reboot the pc 4. Notice how the shortcuts have been rearranged on the desktop OBSERVED RESULT Shortcuts get re arranged after reboot EXPECTED RESULT Shortcuts shouldn't get rearranged after reboot, they should stay where they are at all times unless the user moves them SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Cachyos KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Did you have them sorted by name, and the arrangement "In Rows" before and after reboot? Looks like those are shortcuts, are some of them Flatpak apps? It's possible it's sorting using the "org.blalbalbla.flatpak.app.name" instead of the human readable name, which would be a bug.

I am also having this problem, I'm a recent linux switch and so far this is my only issue. I use Bazzite with KDE as a desktop environment as the default. I'm running 3 identical 1920x1080 displays, I have sorting set to manual and lock in place enabled. Every time I reboot my system, the icons are arranged by name in rows and they move from my center monitor to the right monitor as well. Most of the icons are shortcuts to steam games, the rest are flatpak apps. Definitely annoying, I would love to see a fix for this, but certainly not a dealbreaker for me lol.
