Hi!

I have multiple repos with more than 20 worktrees, and sometimes forget the name of a recently added worktree. Therefore it would really be nice if I could use something like ‘git worktree list —created’ to list them by their creation timestamp. Is that something that makes sense to you as well? I could also create a pull request for this if you would like it.

Best,
  Norbert
