    If you are using Synaptic then check out History in its Menu.

    There are a few other ways too but none is precise.
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/ folder stores info of all installed packages and you can sort its files.
    Code:
    ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Yes, the above command displays the installed packages according to date and time precisely.

    Thanks
