SUMMARY Imported kwin window rules do not respect original user created order. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. I have around 15 user-created Window Rules, which are arranged into alphabetical order. 2. This was done through the UI at Settings → Window Management → Window Rules. 3. Use the UI to export these rules as a .kwinrule file. 4. After setting up a new linux system (running KDE Plasma), the original order is not respected when these rules are re-imported. OBSERVED RESULT Windows rules are imported in a seemingly random order. EXPECTED RESULT The original user-defined rule order (in my case alphabetical) should be respected.

However, I see that this has now been assigned, so this new report might be redundant now. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442625
Thank you for the bug report! However Plasma 5.23.90 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. If you need help with Plasma 5.23.90, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE. If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
