Would it be possible to add a "Sort by Date Created" option?

I would have figured that, since the purpose of this program seems to be to mimic the start menu from earlier version of windows, the chronological sort would be the default, or only, sort method.

If I go into the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and do "Sort by Date Created" (ascending) it seems to get the proper order, with the exception that it lists all folders before listing any files.

Basically the same functionality as Windows XP. Whenever a new program is installed, add it to the bottom of the list. If it is installed into an existing Start Menu folder, then add it to the bottom of that folder.

So there is no way to sort things chronologically? Is it possible to open up the registry key and paste in our own ordering?

Interesting, I installed a new program (one that had not been installed previously) and that one did appear on the bottom.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, with "sort start menu only the first time" checked, and autoarrange unchecked, new programs are still inserted alphabetically. I uninstalled and reinstalled a program to double check.

I have "Sort the Main Menu only the First Time" checked. I would have though that that would do exactly what I needed. When I right-click on the program list, it gives me the option to Sort by Name, which sorts alphabetically, or Auto Arrange, which also sorts alphabetically.

I'm using Windows 8.1. My programs keep sorting alphabetically. Whatever I add I new program it inserts it into alphabetical order instead of adding it to the end. How do I sort things by date installed?
