I thought the
kate sort plugin made it into the code. It isn't in kate in R14.
When all is
said and done, more often than not more is said than
done. What you see is as far as the request developed.
Would be a nice addition.
This is in my "I would like to do, perhaps one day I will do" list, together
with porting the Kgdb plugin from KDE4.
Be patient, one day it will be done :)
