All of these would require modifications to the show_pending_subs function definition in Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py. There is code there that purports to sort the subscription requests by email address, but it doesn't work. I'll probably file a bug and fix that, but you could modify it to sort by time. you can also truncate the fullname and add the time (after converting it to a nice format) in the same function. Let us know if you need help with the actual Python. >Maybe these can become feature requests as well.
