The plugin is in ~/.kde/share/apps/kate/plugins/sort and the rc file is:

11:09 alchemy:~/.kde/share/apps> cat  kate/plugins/sort/plugin_sort.rc
<!DOCTYPE kpartgui>
<kpartplugin library="libsortplugin" version="1" name="sort" >
 <MenuBar>
  <Menu name="tools" >
   <Text>&amp;Tools</Text>
   <Action name="edit_insert_sort" />
  </Menu>
 </MenuBar>
 <ToolBar name="extraToolBar" >
  <Action name="edit_insert_sort" />
 </ToolBar>
 <ActionProperties>
  <Action icon="katesort" name="edit_insert_sort" />
 </ActionProperties>
</kpartplugin>


The remaining plugins I have are:

11:09 alchemy:~/.kde/share/apps> ls -1 kate/plugins/
katecppsymbolviewer
katefiletemplates
katehtmltools
kateinsertcommand
katemake
katemodeline
kateopenheader
katepybrowse
katesnippets
katetextfilter
katexmlcheck
katexmltools
sort

  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/kde3-katesort-1.0-1.3.src.rpm

  The contents of the source are:

11:15 alchemy:~/suse/114/tmp> rpm2cpio ../srpm/kde3-katesort-1.0-1.3.src.rpm |
cpio -idmv

katesort-1.0.tar.bz2
kde3-katesort-1.0-icons.diff
kde3-katesort.spec

  It would be supercool to add this to tde :)
