I'm not sure it is a good idea:
 * I'm not sure it works:
 * does the "most seen" is replaced by chronological ?
 * if not, how to return to chronological once you've used "most seen" or "alphabetical" without reloading the page
 * It lacks the practical aspect (to have the dates without having to open the pages, it save a lot of time)

There it save the trouble of correcting a problem on few overwhelmed pages by losing a tool for most pages (saying that, I acknowledge the fact coding isn't easy and that I haven't of a great help)

Isn't it possible to restore the chronological appearance for now (maybe with a setting hiding it once it reach 500 appearances ?)

It works, but it's different than you're used to. The standard sorting criteria for a category will default to sorting it chronologically. When you fiddle with your default sort settings, that will override the default sort made by the templates. What I do to return to 'normal' is remove everything after /Appearances in the URL.

'Most seen' is a Wikia thing and can't be replaced. It will always show the 'most popular' page in a given category. The list below is the only thing we can control.

I get what you're saying about the dates, but function that brought in the dates from each of those pages is very expensive on the server. I'll look into methods to show the sort key in the category as well, which should show the date for you.

Please bring up your concerns with this new update in the thread I talked about installing it so everyone else can weigh in as well.
