Why Sorting Option missing for Creation Date in AWS KMS Console

You're correct that there is currently no option to sort KMS keys by creation date directly in the AWS KMS console. The console does provide sorting capabilities, but they are limited to specific columns. For customer managed keys, you can sort by Aliases, Key ID, and Key type. For AWS managed keys, sorting is available for Aliases and Key ID.

While the creation date is displayed in the detailed view of each KMS key, it is not available as a sortable column in the main key list. This limitation can indeed be challenging for users managing numerous keys who want to quickly identify keys based on their creation time.

As for raising a feature request, AWS does not provide a direct public channel for submitting feature requests to specific product teams. However, there are a few ways you can provide feedback or suggest improvements:

1. Use the AWS Support Center if you have an AWS support plan. You can open a case to provide feedback or request features.

2. Participate in AWS forums or discussion boards where AWS employees sometimes monitor for user feedback.

3. Reach out to your AWS account manager or solutions architect if you have one assigned to your account.

4. Attend AWS events or webinars where you might have the opportunity to interact with AWS staff and provide feedback.

In the meantime, to work around this limitation, you could consider using AWS CLI or SDK to retrieve key information programmatically. This would allow you to sort the keys by creation date outside of the console. Additionally, you might find it helpful to use tags or aliases to categorize your keys in a way that makes them easier to manage and identify within the console's current sorting capabilities.
