Hi All,
I think the usability of the application manager would be highly optimised if there was an additional option to sort by date as at the moment you can sort by Name & Size but when I want to see if there are any new applications i have to scroll the entire list keeping my eyes peeled for anything new.
If there was a sort by date view i could then see what new apps have been uploaded since i last checked and that would be easier
Thoughts anyone?

I am using 'AppWatch' for this, available in the repos.
When you start it and click 'Repository History', it does exactly what you need

It is a real pitty though, that the Applicationmanager does not do this out of the box, agree.

Best regards,
Corwin

You could make a Brainstorm or Bugzilla enhancement request. Posting requests for platform enhancements in Talk won't get i done, i'm afraid.

Also, this is a Maemo 5 topic, so i'll move the thread there. For future reference, N900 is for hardware discussion.

Make sure you search first, I think there's one solution already?

If so, voting on that does more than submitting a new one.
