Do the events contain a 'File Create Time' field?  If not, nothing can be done.  If the field is present then make sure you are searching in Verbose mode so more fields are extract automatically.  If it's still not there then you'll need to extract it using any of several methods.  The easiest way to do that is to install an app that does the extraction for you.

Before searching I just created 3 files. But it still didn't show up.

I also search in Verbose mode but still didn't see it.
Do you know any app related to File Create Time that I can download?
