For the people that want to sort by date (Say, your downloads folder), simply create a new folder in "Downloads" called "Downloads" that has the same folder icon as the original "Downloads" folder. Then drop to terminal and type this:

cd ~/Downloads
touch -mt 201001010101.01 Downloads

This will make the creation date on that folder Friday, January 1st, 2010 1:01AM. Now sort your stack by date and that folder will always show up first, no matter what it is called.

I was hopeful, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone else have success?

You can do this with XRay also by simply entering a new modification and/or creation date.

Apple Finder windows are slow in updating so you may have to close/open or even remove from the Dock and put the folder back in the Dock. Hopefully this won't be necessary for you but it has been for me.

I don't suppose anyone's found a way to modify this information for "Date Added"...
