Shouldn't you instead be looking at the transactions tab to see what the transactions are and the details of such transactions? That would give you far more detail than just the receiving address.
But sometimes I created some addresses at a particular time that I never used (so it will not show up on the transaction history) that I want to look for for whatever reason. I always label all my addresses, and I would like to have it all ordered in chronological order in the receiving addresses window too, i don't see why not.
That would be a nice feature too. I don't create tonnes of addresses but I do add at least one new one each week, so I have close to 30 I'm keeping track of at the moment, all in my own text file. I'm not entirely sure of my own purposes, but I figure older addresses will have some significance many years down the line.
