The plugin is in ~/.kde/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort
and the
rc file is:
Yes, these are all stock plugins from openSuSE 11.4
(3.5.10) that Ilya maintains. All of the source.rpms are available here:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.4/src/
Specifically, the kate-sort plugin is:
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.4/src/k…
The contents of the source are:

If you can
discern from where you obtained that plugin,
then perhaps we can hack the code into
a katepart plugin
rather than a kate plugin. If we can do that then you/our
desire to add sorting to kwrite will be possible.
Many of the kate plugins are installed from tdeaddons.
The standard katepart
plugins come from tdelibs.
It would be supercool to add this to tde :)
Okay, so now we know from where the sources are obtained. An enhancement request should be
able to push the plugin and Suse sources into tdeaddons. That provides the plugin to all
Trinity users for kate.
Based on the sources file name (katesort-1.0.tar.bz2), looks like this is the original
source:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Katesort+plugin?content=69495
The next step would be to hack the code and if possible convert the plugin to a katepart
plugin. I have no idea what is involved to do that or whether that is possible.
