If I had this need, it wouldn’t even occur to me to solve it with Launchpad; I would just go to /Applications in Finder and sort by “Date Added”. (Which is a non-default column, but a very helpful one, so the series of gestures to enable it for a given folder is almost reflexive to me now.)
That only really works if you have a totally flat Applications hierarchy. Even by default, macOS creates a "Utilities" subfolder.
