[Feature] "Recently Viewed" button or tab - some way to view recently viewed photos

The feature

It would be very useful to have a button or some other way to view recently viewed photos - something like the last 100 or 200 photos viewed, most recently viewed first. Or maybe even all the photos in the library - with "date last viewed" as one of the sort options. I would think this would apply only to photos viewed full-screen - not to ones that have simply been scrolled past as a smaller thumbnail..

What brings this up is I recently searched and found an exact photo I was interested in. However I forgot to save it to an album or otherwise mark it. When I tried to re-find the same photo it was almost impossible: For some reason I couldn't exactly duplicate the search phrase or (if I did) the photos it brought up were slightly different; I didn't happen to know the date when the photo was taken; and I have over 200,000 photos so just sifting through thousands to find it was not feasible.

Very often the most recently viewed photos are the exact ones you want to find again, so it seems like this feature would be a useful one on many contexts.
