In SSMS how do I get a list of tables?

I want to see tables ordered by Create Date - like I used to be able to do in SQL2000 Enterprise manager.

Thanks.

SELECT * FROM sys.tables ORDER BY Create_Date;

hahaha ... thanks Russell. So I can't just click on "Tables" and get a nice list displayed - and then click the Create Date column heading to get them sorted?

Progress eh? ...

you get get that list in the GUI. you have to get the "object explorer details" tab open first though. It's under the "view" menu.

Thanks Jesse - would never have thought of looking there in a million years. Sticking a hint on the Right-Click menu would have been helpful!
