See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407588. This was supposed to 
have been fixed in AppStream itself, at least for apps. And I can 
confirm the fix with the latest version of APpStream--again, at least 
for apps.

However I can see that the problem is still present for non-apps, such 
as the "Titanium" GTK2 theme, where I can reproduce the issue, as you 
indicate. Looks like the sorting may need to be adjusted in the KNS 
backend specifically, or elsein the KNewStuff framework itself.
