SUMMARY

There's currently only the way to filter installed applets by category
or name. It would be helpful if they could be sorted by installation date.

Qt Version: 5.13.1

Comment 1 Bug Janitor Service 2024-08-22 20:01:14 UTC

A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4634

Comment 2 Niccolò Venerandi 2024-08-22 20:02:53 UTC

I'm closing this as intentional because there's https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4634 implementing something very similar -- that is, automatically sorting at the top all newly installed widgets. I believe that feature addresses the underlying issue described here, and I thus don't think it's worth it to introduce a new sorting button just for installation date.
