I have directories with lots of video files.
Is there a way to find out when I view the last time a certain video aaaa.mp4?
Can I somehow sort all the videos in a folder by last played timestamp?

No, it's not supported at the moment.

You may want to try an AutoHotkey or other general scripting language script. You could write a simple script that you would run separately when you launch VLC. The script could have timer that monitors the VLC window for hints that the video file has changed (such as a change in the window title.) After, determining that a new file is playing, the script could then set the modified date to the present moment for the previous file. That way, when you open the folder in file explorer, you can set the details view and sort the folder by date modified.
