Is there a way to sort Scratch projects by Oldest?

Hello.

I am trying to find the oldest Scratch projects related to a game called ROBLOX, but there is no way to sort them. With there being hundreds of results, there's no way that I can find what I'm looking for. Especially when you have to go to a project in order to see what date it was created.

I tried using Google's “site:” and “before:” fields to search that way, but I was given inaccurate results that didn't match the date I specified.

It would be helpful if there was a way to do this somehow, like with the Scratch API. I looked over it a bit and didn't see anything that could help, but perhaps I overlooked something? I checked other threads and didn't find an answer besides a reply from someone who said they couldn't say (which isn't very helpful).

It's weird to think about how limited the search feature is for a site that has been hosting tens of thousands of projects made by users over the years. I hope there's a way to get around this!

I'm not sure, but if you know python, maybe scratchattach would work. IDK though

I don't know much about Python, unfortunately.

Then unfortunately the answer to your question is no, there isn't.

I guess I'll make a thread in Suggestions then.
