JupyterLab extensions

Background
We have created a JupyterLab code snippet extension and are currently working on getting more features developed for the extension. Link: GitHub - jupytercalpoly/jupyterlab-code-snippets: Save, reuse, and share code snippets using JupyterLab Code Snippets!

Idea

The question we had was, would these particular sorting options be useful (Last Modified, Date Created)? And are there any other sorting criteria that might be more useful or useful to add as well?

I think that “Last used” (or “Most recently used”, not sure which sounds better) would make a lot of sense.
