Great news regarding the reorganisation of System Settings. I am skeptical about the sorting however? Why put "Internet" first and "Appearance" so low? Seems to me the later is often the first thing people look for in Settings (and thus often first, or near the top, in most settings).

well like networking is what I go to settings to see most times, and the appearance is already shortcut on the startup screen
To each its own, I guess. Granted, this stuff is highly subjective.
Maybe it is a first-run priority thing? You are going to want to get your network configured before tarting up your desktop, right?
Yes, I see how it would make sense (still seems a bit weird to me, but I can't really pinpoint the reason, other than a subjective feeling I guess).
It might also just be what people are familiar with on other systems. On iOS, macOS, Android and windows, the wifi settings are usually at the top. So it makes sense for KDE to do the same.
My impression was that it was more common to have stuff like "Appearance" first, but you seem to tbe right. At least on my Android phone, network is the first item indeed. I guess I'm getting old!
Haha, I guess Wifi just requires you to go into the settings more often than something like appearance, which you usually set, and then rarely come back to.
