Get-ChildItem with CreationTime instead of LastWriteTime?

if you use Get-ChildItem, you get something like

Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name
----                -------------     ------ ----
d----          3/1/2006   9:03 AM            Bluetooth Software
d---s         5/10/2006   8:55 AM            Cookies
d----          5/9/2006   2:09 PM            Desktop

Good. I just want to now change the output of LastWriteTime to CreationTime . Everything else should be the same. Any ideas?

You can select it using Select-Objector any of the cmdletsFormat-*

Get-ChildItem | Select-Object Mode,CreationTime,Length,Name

For one-time changes to the displayed columns, piping up to selector is Format-Tableeasiest. If you want to make this a permanent change, you need to deal with format files that determine how powershell renders file system objects.

(, $env:SystemRoot\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\FileSystem.format.ps1xml) , . , .

, . FileFormat.format.ps1xml

Update-FormatData -Prepend c:\FileFormat.format.ps1xml

CreationTime, LastWriteTime.
