List local chocolatey packages and order by installation date

Chocolatey packages tend to accumulate when you have installed them long ago and have stopped using them later. I could go manually through a list of local packages



choco list -lo


But with a long list, it starts to be tedious. Is there a way to order the list by installation date? Something like



choco list -lo --order-by-install-date


I've gone through choco list help, but have only found ordering by popularity.



Is there any other simple of keeping track and uninstalling packages I don't need any more?

    Depending on the format of the list use PowerShell or copy to another kind of program and sort the output there.

  • Unfortunately not. Only got advice above suggesting copying the output to a different program and sorting there. I’m still surprised such a basic functionality is absent.
