How to reorder tabs in Kate?

Question

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 and installed Kate Version 15.12.3 through the official Apt repositories. For some reason now I am unable to reorder tabs.

I may be mistaken, but I could have sworn that all I needed to do was drag and drop the tabs like it works in any web browser, but I can't get the tabs to reorder without closing the documents and reopening them in the desired order.

I also have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Kate version: 15.12.3. I'm unable to re order tabs.

Conclusion: It was partially enabled in Kate 4 (with a plugin). Kate 5 doesn't have it anymore, but you are free to submit a patch to develop the feature.

If only this was an easy task.
