maintenance

I need to delete old and unmaintained branches from our remote repo. I'm trying to find a way with which to list the remote branches by their last modified date, and I can't. Does someone know of an easy way to list remote branches this way?

But actually, does it make processing extremely fast? I don't believe so, though I have never performed measurements. Even if retrieving by label would be a bit slower, nevertheless, it provide better readability and flexibility, in my opinion. So
