User request: Add last updated date to add-on store as column #15278

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The add-on store (as in NVDA 2023.2 Beta 2), does not give information about when an add-on was last updated. It gives the version number in a column in the list of add-ons, however as add-ons do not have a consistent version numbering system, this information of itself, is not as useful unless you are already familiar with that add-on.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful to have the last updated date as this may be useful for a number of situations:

  • If the add-on improves accessibility with an external program, the add-on date can be checked against the last update date of the external program (if not explicitly stated in the documentation.
  • For incompatible add-ons, knowing that something was last updated six months ago vs four years ago can help evaluate it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

This was originally reported on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kool_turk/status/1688782747203227648
I added the request to be able to sort columns as #15277. With both issues implemented, it would be possible to sort add-ons to see the most recent as per the request.
