--- Comment #2 from Riccardo Robecchi <[email protected]> ---
It does, but only if you remove the numbers. For comparison's sake, let's look
at what other systems and applications do:
- GNOME has a slider that goes from cool to warm, but it presents this
graphically and omits numbers
- Cinnamon has a similar approach: graphical representation from cool to warm
- Windows 10 has a slider from warm to cool, with a graphical representation of
this, but with no numbers
- Windows 11 provides a clearly labelled "strength" slider with no numbers
- macOS calls the feature "night shift" and provides the third example of a
slider where strength increases going to the right, without any numbers
- Android only shows an intensity slider like Windows 11

It looks like all other platforms do not use numbers and order from cool to
warm (save for now-EOL Windows 10).

All applications where colour temperature numbers are used, however, use the
number ordering as intended:
- All Redshift GUI implementations I found use numbers and correctly order them
- f.lux provides numbers and correctly orders them
- LightBulb (Windows) provides numbers and correctly orders them
- SunsetScreen (Windows) provides numbers and correctly orders them
- Twilight (Android) provides an unlabelled intensity slider
- Red Moon (Android) provides numbers and correctly orders them
- broadening the view, GIMP provides a colour temperature adjustment feature
with correct LTR ordering

It looks like there are no consistency concerns with other systems, given how
every single other OS and DE does not provide numbers. All applications which
provide numbers, however, also correctly order them. I have not been able to
find an example of a night light feature which operates like Plasma currently
does. If consistency is a concern, then I suggest changing the current
behaviour as it is inconsistent with every single other system and application,
irrespective of what they do.
