Sometimes users install a set of plugins that are not in good quality. Such plugins can break some functionality and the user needs to identify them according to the time they have been installed (in case the user doesn't remember their names). This information should be available as a column in the table of installed plugins. It should be possible to sort plugins by this attribute and so that the date format should be probably something like "YYYY/HH/MM-hh:mm:ss".
Definitely makes sense. Adjusting the priority appropriately.
It's appropriate to plugin manager subcomponent.
Reassigning to the new "autoupdate/*" owner dlipin.
Unless you donate the work, I don't think this will be implemented.
