## Descrição

Glimbyte Starter Sorter adds three productivity features to the WordPress Plugins
screen: a sort toolbar, date tracking columns, and a persistent Extensions menu 
in the admin bar.

#### Extensions Menu in the Admin Bar

An Extensions item is added to your WordPress admin bar and stays visible on every
page — including the front end of your site when you are logged in as an administrator.
This means you can jump straight to plugin management without navigating through
the sidebar, from wherever you are on the site.

The dropdown includes:

 * Installed — go straight to your plugins list
 * Add New — jump directly to the plugin installer (shown only to users with the
   install_plugins capability)
 * File Editor — open the plugin file editor (shown only when file editing is enabled)
 * Active (N) — filtered view of active plugins, with a live count
 * Inactive (N) — filtered view of inactive plugins, with a live count
 * Update Available (N) — shown only when updates exist, with a live count

#### Sort Toolbar

A toolbar appears above your plugins list with one-click sort buttons for Name, 
Author, Installed Date, and Activated Date. Click once to sort ascending, click 
again to reverse. Sort preferences are saved per user and persist across sessions.

#### Date Tracking Columns

Two new columns — Installed and Activated — are added to the plugins list table.
Plugins installed after activating this plugin show exact timestamps. Pre-existing
plugins fall back to their file modification date, marked with a tilde (~) to indicate
the date is approximate.

#### Key Features

 * Extensions menu in the admin bar, accessible from any admin page or the front
   end of the site
 * Live plugin counts for Active, Inactive, and Updates Available shown in the dropdown
 * Capability-aware links — Add New and File Editor only appear to users with the
   relevant permissions
 * One-click sorting by Name, Author, Install Date, or Activation Date
 * Ascending and descending toggle with a second click on any sort button
 * Sort preference saved per user, persists between sessions
 * Installed Date and Activated Date columns in the plugins list
 * Accurate timestamp tracking for plugin activations, deactivations, and new installs
 * File modification date fallback for pre-existing plugins, marked with ~
 * No external scripts, no database tables, no configuration required
 * Fully translatable (text domain: glimbyte-starter-sorter)

## Capturas de tela

 * Sort toolbar above the plugins list with Name, Author, Installed, and Activated
   sort buttons.

   displayed.

## Instalação

 1. Upload the `glimbyte-starter-sorter` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install directly via the WordPress plugin installer.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in your WordPress admin.
 3. The Extensions menu will appear in your admin bar immediately. Visit Plugins to
    see the sort toolbar and date columns.

No configuration is needed. Sort preferences are stored automatically per user when
you click a sort button.

## Perguntas frequentes

### Where does the Extensions menu appear?

The Extensions menu is added to the WordPress admin bar. It appears on every admin
screen and also on the front end of your site for logged-in users with the activate_plugins
capability. This lets you access plugin management from anywhere without going through
the sidebar.

### What links are in the Extensions dropdown?

The dropdown always includes Installed, Active (with count), and Inactive (with 
count). Add New is shown for users with the install_plugins capability. File Editor
is shown for users with the edit_plugins capability when DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT is not
defined. Update Available (with count) is only shown when updates are pending.

### How do I sort my plugins?

After activation, visit the Plugins screen. A toolbar with four buttons — Name, 
Author, Installed, Activated — appears above the list. Click a button to sort by
that field. Click it again to toggle between ascending and descending order. Your
preference is saved automatically.

### How are install dates determined for existing plugins?

Plugins installed after activating Glimbyte Starter Sorter will have their exact
install timestamp recorded. Plugins that were already installed use the file modification
date as an approximation. Approximate dates are displayed with a ~ symbol.

### What does “Before tracking” mean in the Activated column?

This label appears for plugins that were already active when Glimbyte Starter Sorter
was installed. Their activation date was not yet being tracked. Once you deactivate
and reactivate them, the exact date will be recorded.

### Does this plugin work on WordPress Multisite?

The admin bar menu, sort toolbar, and date columns all work on individual sites 
within a Multisite network. The network-level admin area (wp-admin/network/) is 
not currently supported.

### Will this plugin slow down my site or admin?

No. The admin bar menu uses data WordPress already loads and caches. The sort toolbar
and date columns only run on the Plugins screen. No external files are loaded and
no additional database tables are created.

### Is the sort preference shared between users?

No. Each WordPress user has their own sort preference stored in their own user meta,
independently of other users.

### Can I turn off individual features such as the admin bar menu?

Not through a settings page in this version. A settings page with toggleable features
is planned for a future release. To remove all features, deactivate the plugin.
