Reports - created/updated date, last run date, and notes field

We have been using Administrate for less than a year and already have nearly 100 reports.  I can see the list getting bigger over time and it will be important to delete reports that are no longer used.  I suggest:

1) Showing a date for when a report was created or updated, so we know how old a report is.
2) Showing a date for when a report was last run, so we know whether a report is actually used.
3) Adding a notes field in the report definition, so we can include information about the purpose of a report and why it was created.

  I think the above suggestions would be extremely helpful.

  Here's my additional suggestions:  

  Show the user who "owns" the report.  

  • The system allows for duplicate report names.  We tell the user to add their name to the start of the report name, but they don't always do that.  
  • If an admin leaves the company, as a "super user" I would like to delete their reports. 
  • If I could see who's report it is, it would be much easier to help an admin make updates to their report. 

  Have a Filter/Search

  • Currently we can only use cntrl + f to search the page
  • Having search functionality would be helpful to filter down what we are looking for

   Have a folder structure

  • Currently there is no way to sort, the reports just show alphabetically. 
  • It would be nice for admins to be able to organize their reports

  To piggy-back on this thread: the ability to find all reports which make use of specific fields too would be great:
  
  For us, this would be useful for when we're retiring custom fields and we need to update any reports using them, without checking all possibly related reports manually.
