In a word yes, you will be able to do what you describe below. It's
not really a separate view, but one of the ways you can manipulate
the 'center pane'. See more in-line...

Would you mind elaborating on the specific use case motivating your

Sure. Years ago I wrote a PIM, and one of the most popular features
(and the feature that I hear most about from former users) is the
ability to look at your collection, including addresses, calendar
items, note items, todos etc, in the order that they were created/
edited, with the most recent first. This allows a user to see what
they have worked on more recently. For example "I know I added this
guy in the last few weeks" or "I know I added this note within the
last few days". Being able to see your workflow in the order you
create it is exceedingly valuable.
Yes very cool!
In the Preview timeframe, you will be able to do the following:
+ Sort by the 'Date column' which will sort items by the date that
appears in the Date column.
+ Most of the time, the Date will be something to the effect of date
created or date last modified (which includes date last sent as well.)
+ The only caveat on that is: If an item is an Event, then the Event
start date/time displays in the Date column; and/or
+ If the item has a Custom Tickler date, aka Alarm, then the Alarm
date/time displays.
It's actually more complicated than that, but I won't get into that
here. You can read Bryan Stearns' extremely succinct write-up to the
list here:
Post Preview, we would like to be able to implement a more
sophisticated way to 'browse' items by date which would include
things like:
+ Sectioning a view by Date ranges: Today, Yesterday, This past week,
Next week, Last month, Next month, Last year, etc... (Essentially a
timeline view of your PIM activities :o)
+ The ability to list a single item multiple times across multiple
sections. e.g. Item was created on this date, and then edited on that
date and then sent on that date and then added to the calendar for
this date and then tickled for that date.
+ Ability to 'narrow' down the range of items you see using the mini-
calendar control.
Is that along the lines of what you were imagining?
