Windows 10 apps “Sort by Install Date” are not sorted by time
In all previous versions of Windows, when you sorted the installed programs by "date installed," it would sort them exactly like that - by date and TIME installed.
In Windows 10, it takes all the apps that were installed on a particular day and then sorts THOSE by name. Yesterday I installed many programs (new windows installation) and one of the apps also installed some extra stuff I don't want but I have no idea what. Just by sorting by "install date" doesn't help because it's now sorted by name on yesterday's date, along with the other 50 things I installed yesterday.
Trying to go to "Program Files" and "Program Files(86)" and sorting there by date created is not a solution because some programs don't get installed there.
Is there a way to sort the apps by the EXACT date and time they were installed without using 3rd party software like "IObit Uninstaller?"

As a workaround, I just found out that there is another way to access the "Uninstall or change a program" window, which works like the older Windows versions, and that is via the control panelPrograms and Features. Now I can sort by date installed correctly.
