Sort files in Trash by date of deletion

[o-alquimista]

Problem

Currently, files in the Trash are sorted alphabetically, and there is no way to change the sorting. The context menu only contains the item "Open In".

Proposal

I believe it makes more sense to sort the trashed items by date of deletion. Files most recently deleted would show on top.

We already have the date of deletion, as you can see in the Properties dialog:

You can change the sort order by switching to List view and clicking on the column headers. The chosen sort order should then persist. It shouldn't be difficult to expose the sort order in the context menu. Sorting by Deletion date is a separate issue and will require more work though. There is no infrastructure at the moment to change which properties are shown in the columns. Sounds like a sensible idea though.
