I'd like to be able to also sort them by Age. Would this be useful to anyone else?

You ask would, but I'm not sure actually if it would be useful. Maybe you can think of something. Why should I care then an answer was first created?

For me, I'd use it most often on Code Golf Codidact, where answers are competing solutions to coding contests. I sometimes like to see the answers in the order they arrived to see how new strategies emerged and then went on to be reused or adapted in later answers.

Similarly on Meta where the answers can form a discussion rather than just having one "best" answer.

In neither case is it an urgent need, just something I would sometimes use if it was available, so I thought I'd find out how much demand there might be.
