These were completely missing because I forgot about them... I added sorting functionality before I added date functionality, but it turns out I didn't even need the datetime library to do this! However, this implementation feels incomplete. If you sort by the accessed date, it still displays the modified date, so the dates still look out of order. If I were to change the date column for the user, though, then there would still be no header to signify that the column has changed. I'm not sure how to proceed with this, but this is still missing functionality, so in it goes.

Installation
exa is written in Rust. You'll have to use the nightly -- I try to keep it up to date with the latest version when possible. Once you have it set up, a simple cargo build will pull in all the dependencies and compile exa.
exa depends on libgit2 for certain features. If you're unable to compile libgit2, you can opt out of Git support by passing --no-default-features to Cargo.
