Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

Changing the sorting method every time we look for recent entries may not be ideal.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

In directories with few items (that usually fit on the screen), highlighting recent entries makes finding them much more convenient than changing the sorting method.

Validations

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions
• The latest nightly build of Yazi doesn't already have this feature

[sxyazi]

It's a feature that's already supported - Yazi provides the linemode API, so you can easily implement it through the plugin system:

function Linemode:my_mtime()
  local time = math.floor(self._file.cha.modified or 0)
  local line
  if time == 0 then
    line = ui.Line {}
  else
    line = ui.Line(os.date("%b %d %H:%M", time))
  end
  if time ~= 0 and ya.time() - time <= 300 then
    line = line:reverse()
  end
  return line
end
