Good point. We will work on a solution for this. Stay tuned!

I did some work to collect app submission dates from the git history. It's all here now: https://github.com/electron/electron-apps/blob/master/meta/dates.json

The build process will continue collecting dates for all apps going forward.

When you install this module with npm, the dates are included in the metadata for each app:

yarn global add trymodule && trymodule electron-apps=apps

Then:

apps[0]

Which yields:

{ slug: '1clipboard',
  name: '1Clipboard',
  description: 'A universal clipboard managing app that makes it easy to access your clipboard from anywhere on any device',
  website: 'http://1clipboard.io',
  icon: '1clipboard-icon.png',
  icon32: '1clipboard-icon-32.png',
  icon64: '1clipboard-icon-64.png',
  icon128: '1clipboard-icon-128.png',
  date: '2016-03-31',
  iconColors: [ '#14538b', '#eff0f1', '#6b88a7', '#849cb4', '#8c9cb4' ]
}

Now that we have the data, the next step will be to surface on the website.

Apps are now sorted by date on the website, with newest submissions at the top. This has been fixed for a while, but I forgot to close the issue here.
