Feature request / Proposition

First of all, thanks for this cool tool, it already is really good 👍
Congrats on the speed, it is really blazing fast 👏
And the output is amazing in terms of readability 😍

If I got it well, the date block displays the modification date.
I suggest having two possible date blocks: creation date and modification date.

This is feature is present in exa and I find it quite useful.

Please tell me what you think, and feel free to close if you don't think this is relevant.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing modification-date block and the command-line configuration that selects date blocks. Compare the requested creation-date behavior with the existing modification-date output and the approach used by exa. Done means users can request a creation-date block separately from the modification-date block, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
