We can sort our collection by "last watched". But this sorting uses last watched dates by any user, and there is no easy way for a specific user to have a list corresponding just to him (her).

If we want to have this sort of list, we have to export database to CVS, and use Excel to eliminate all entries for non concerned users, which is rather long.

I think it would be interesting to have the possibility to sort by "last watched" by user1, user2...

Or perhaps a plugin to obtain the same information ?

Sounds like a good idea to me
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I do not have multiple users in my program, but isn't there a way to filter on a user?

Yes, but if title "A" was watched by you on 1.1.2001 and by TheSaneMartian on 1.1.2002 DVD would still show the latter date even you filter just on user TheMadMartian.
The filter seems to work: "filter all titles by user, but then show the latest date out of the whole history of each profile no matter which username is associated with it."

I thought DatabaseQuery could handle this, but is suffers from the same affliction.

That's unfortunate.  Perhaps when I'm done moving in a couple weeks, I could have a look.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.
