Why on earth would anyone ever need to see the date as the addon got installed? ![Stick Out Tongue](//cdn-eso.mmoui.com/images/style_esoui/smilies/tongue.gif)
Both dates are helping, but why not just check which addons you will update before pressing the "update all" button?

Im not sure what you're driving at, but the installed-date has nothing to do with it needing updated. When an addon has an available update i hit the button, plain and simple. But now after installing like 10 addons, one of them has quite literally broken the game and I cant log in, so my only recourse is to disable ALL out of date addons then re-enable them one at a time to find the culprit.
And im not sure if you've ever done it, but it's quite a time-consuming process. Whereas if there were an option to sort by the date installed, I could simply disable the last couple installed. I could have fixed the problem 40 minutes ago.
And I appreciate that you're trying to be a smart ass, but a "sort by date installed" option would be far more relevant to any common user than the than sort by date uploaded/date updated. So again, this wasn't about an update breaking my game, but a new addition to my list entirely.
There's a reason windows itself has kept a log of the date you installed or created a program/file in the properties, and allows you to sort by it (and before you try to one-up me again, I tried sorting the addon folder by date and it's ****ed. simply not working properly-- showin addons ive used since day one amongst more recent additions)
