By adding a “First Observed” sort option to “Life List,” a person will be able to easily see which species have been recently added to their list. Often when I add a day’s observations, I’ll notice that my number of species observed has gone up a few. It would be nice to see which species I’ve added and this sort option would allow that. “First Observed” means that the list is sorted by the date of the first observation of each species in the list.
Exactly what I’ve been trying to do. Thanks for posting the suggestion.
On eBird’s ‘Overview’ pages by county or hotspot location there are First Seen, Last Seen and High Count buttons sortable ascending or descending and by taxonomy, date and count:
The link above shows recent additions to the NY County list of:
- American Golden-Plover
- Swainson’s Hawk on Governors Island (added to iNaturalist)
- South Polar Skua
Thanks again for the suggestion.

Would just like to add my voice to the pile - I’d love this feature!

Hello all,
This suggestion was made over a year ago and has 20 votes. I’m not sure if this has made the list of functions to be added to iNaturalist.
In the meantime does anyone know of an API interface to iNaturalist that would show things like:
- First Observed Species in a project or location (First Seen as a list)
- Latest Addition to a project or location (Last Seen as a list)
Thanks!
These are really great ideas.
