I do not think we have any _record_ of when each of these worktrees
was created, so this is not a realistic request.

The output from "git worktree list" may be more than 20 lines, but
isn't your terminal taller than 20 lines ;-)?

Since very early days of Git, we have created .git/description file
that is not used very much (I think it is shown in gitweb).  Perhaps
worktree should have an equivalent in per-worktree part of their
.git/ directory and "git worktree list --verbose" can use its
contents in addition to the additional pieces information it already
shows, or something like that, perhaps?
