Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I wanted to identify the last items that was added among a lot of items. But I did not found any way to add for exemple the creation date or modification date in the explorer so that I could sort on this column.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to add a function to customize the list of standard columns (available for exemple from the properties) in the explorer view (store/folder view)

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternative but opening each item properties to identify the date and identify the items I am searching

Research direction

Start by reviewing the storage explorer's store/folder view and the item properties that expose metadata. Define how users would customize the standard column list, including creation and modification dates, and how those columns support sorting. Done means the requested metadata can be shown and used to identify items without opening each property's view.
