What It Does

This plugin shows a new, sortable, column with the modified date in the lists of pages and posts in the WordPress admin panel. It also shows the username that did the last update.

We needed this functionality for one of our websites and didn't find a suitable plugin for it. The idea of our plugin is based on the plugin Sort by modified which has some problems displaying the information correctly in latest WordPress versions. We love Admin Columns, but the free version doesn't allow sorting the columns.

We also have included translations which are important for us as we are based in Valencia (Spain).

The first release is available in English, Spanish and German. In the languages folder we have included the necessary files to translate this plugin.

If you would like the plugin in your language and you're good at translating, please use the native WordPress Translation functionality.

New to Translating a plugin? First read through the Translator Handbook, then select your locale at Translating WordPress and finally go to the translation page for this plugin to translate it.

You can access the description of the plugin in Spanish at: Show modified Date in admin lists.
