@mrdavidchapa Welcome to the forum!
I moved your post into the existing feature request on the same topic.
Please add this feature, itâs annoying to not have a way to pinpoint new entries to the vault database. I want to sort my credentials list by date_modified.

This would be very useful to be able to sort by date. It would also be useful to see when was the lat time an item was referenced.

I have trouble finding a newly created password entry, especially when the url is not obviously the same as the website Iâm on. So in the list of all my password entries, sort the list (or provide an option) in order of creation, newest ones on top, possibly with added emphasis or highlighting for those created in the last hour or today.

Is been two year, why still not implant
Itâs very important for me

For me, sorting by date of last change or last use is very important. I have many passwords and multiple email accounts. Finding the correct password is not easy when I use Bitwarden. For example, Firefox has a sort function implemented. Often I donât even have to look for the correct password. But if I have to look for the password, itâs easier to find it in Firefox than in Bitwarden.

Itâs been 7 years. Itâs quite astounding that such a simple feature request remains unactioned after all this time. What is going on here?

What is going on here?
Isnât it obvious what is going on? Donât forget, there are posts in this thread saying âwe are working on itâ, with the first that I found to be from Dec of 2022, quoted below:
âŚthe team is working on adding sorting functionality first to the web vault, and then will explore other clients.
so⌠still nothing?
A post was merged into an existing topic: Autofill suggestions - option to sort matching entries alphabetically instead of by last usage
6 years laterâŚThese feature requests, all related to the date last modified, have STILL not been added. Itâs really the only missing feature that is completely obviously missing to nearly every Bitwarden user. This set of features being requested in this thread, all related to the last modified date, are ubiquitous in all other password managers and users rely on this set of features for several different essential functions, including password rotation. We know from the Bitwarden CLI that the last modified date is recorded, so I donât understand what is taking so long. I really do feel like developers donât listen to the users and this is a problem for all programs, not just Bitwarden.
SIX YEARS later, and still we donât have the essential features requested here. After the major update which changed the UI and the underlying programming, Bitwarden is PAINFULLY slow and I despise the new UI. It was so much better before that update and fast! Users gave feedback about the slow speed, bad new UI, and this request for critical features to add sorting related to last modified date, but nothing has changed. I used to tell everyone about Bitwarden, but now Iâm silent. I always thought that when making a product, the whole point is to serve the needs of the user, but that doesnât seem to be the model for anything anymore.
I love that Bitwarden is open source, and I appreciate that itâs free because it helps keep people safe even if they canât afford a subscription. I just will never understand why users/consumers needs are entirely ignored or take a ridiculous amount of time to be implemented.

@Iconoclast19 Welcome to the forum!
Not to take away from your concerns, but the above is clearly hyperbole. This feature request has 433 votes. The community forum currently has 24,516 users. Bitwarden has over 10 million users. So yes, this feature is clearly important to you, and to at least 433 other users, but I think it is quite a stretch to claim that ânearly every Bitwarden userâ is clamoring for the ability to sort by date of modification.
Youâre right that ânearly every Bitwarden userâ is strong phrasing, but I donât think the desire for this feature should be dismissed based on the metrics you provided.
When sorting the Feature Requests forum by votes, this is the 7th highest post with over 430 votes. For context, the top requests are in the 800s, so this sits among the most wanted improvements.
As far as the user numbers:
- While Bitwarden has millions of users, only a tiny fraction participate in the forums in any capacity, which is true for nearly every softwareâs community: most users donât vote or post.
- The number of forum accounts (24k+) does not reflect active participation. Many create an account once for some purpose (e.g., adding a comment) and never return.
Given this context, the vote count that has been sustained for this thread that has been accumulated over the course of more than 7 years reflects a significant and persistent need.
There is also clear evidence of this demand outside of these forums. For example, it is frequently mentioned in comparisons with other password managers (e.g., 1Password) and in community discussions: link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, link 5, link 6, link 7, link 8, link 9, etc.
Bitwarden offers amazing features at both the free and premium tiers, and itâs great to see new functionality added regularly. However, I truly wish the developers would provide more prioritization to top user-requested features like this one, which has been outstanding for so long without visible progress or a place on the roadmap.

Like I had said above, my comment was not intended to take away from your concerns.
Notwithstanding what @Monoxide8443 and 300+ others have written, the fact that in 2022 BW in this thread attested that the âteam is working on [it]â and that it will be introduced âfirst to the web vaultâ and it is now 2026, it brings about question of BWâs creditability, project management, and more. The sporadic responses from BW representatives in this thread is also a poor display of how BW treats its users.
It would have been better if BW simply saidââwe have looked at it, we are not doing it now, and we donât know when we will do itâ. At least that would have been more honest and better managed the usersâ expectations as that was essentially what happened.
Edit: One should not assume the statement
community forum currently has 24,516 users. Bitwarden has over 10 million users.
to be some sort of definitive reasoning for this request to be desired from a relatively small population. As I presume you know, there are many who are unhappy with a product, whishing that certain features exist, but either never wrote about it, didnât know what to do about it, or simply went to another product. Iâm sure BW gains and loses customers all the time. By the ever wider adoption of pw managers, I presume BW is gaining more than it is losing, but one must recognize that BW could have possibly retained more users by being more transparent and responsive about customer requests. I, for one, went to another product for the very feature described in this now [insert your adjective here] thread.
This is a community forum, for Bitwarden users. Bitwarden staff who post here from time to time are always respectful.
The practices of Bitwardenâs staff for communicating development initiatives have changed over the years (certainly in the time since 2022), and currently, the main avenues for users to know what is actively being worked on is to consult the information available in the official developed roadmap, the Github repository, or in the Vault Hours.
This is not what I said; I cited those figures only to refute the claim that ânearly every Bitwarden userâ considers this feature to be essential.
Dang. I had started migrating to Bitwarden cause I thought the UX was modern. Without something as simple as sorting entries, I am shocked by this lack of QoL feature.

142 posts were split to a new topic: Expiration Reminders
I started using Bitwarden recently, by importing about 500 vault items from Firefoxâs password manager. I suspect many if not most Bitwarden users start this way.
The name field of most items in my vault is the full website name, which is sorted in strict alphabetical order.
This means that entries for account.foo.com and foo.com and support.foo.com and www.foo.com are not grouped together; rather they are scattered throughout the vault. This makes it difficult to find and delete duplicate entries. I have a whole lot of duplicate entries.
Can you make it so that the vault is sorted by domain, so that a.foo.com is sorted next to foo.com? It would also be okay if this were an option, enabled by default, that power users could turn off once their vault is de-duplicated and tidy.
