frogfather opened a new pull request #150: add time information to application data to allow ordering launch time

   Data retrieved from the application api does not contain any time information. 
   To allow ordering by time we have to make a further call to entityApi.entityActivities. This returns an array of all activities. We take the startTimeUtc value of the first entry as the application start.
   
   However...
   
   The application data is updated frequently and this erases the time information. To avoid having to make multiple api calls (which causes an annoying flicker on the screen) we store the time information locally in an array of objects. For existing applications we can simply merge this time information with the refreshed data. For new applications, we temporarily set the startTimeUtc to the current time to ensure it's at the top of the list and then call a method to update our local time data.
