Most Unix-like operating systems don't store the creation time (crtime). If you think about it, its actually not a very useful feature to most people. If the file has never been changed, then its creation date would be the same as the last modified time (mtime) anyway. If the file was automatically created by a program or when the system was installed, the times for several files might be the same, making it useless for organization. If you import files from a file system that doesn't store creation time or had the wrong system time, the time will also be wrong or useless.
A few file systems for Linux (such as ext4, for instance), do have the technical capability to store crtime, but very few tools and libraries have been updated to make use of it, as it is 1.) not standard or common, and 2.) is not really useful and thus not a very high priority.

What is the Linux Virtual File System used for?
The Linux VFS (Virtual File System) may be thought of as a sort of interface between the Linux kernel and the mounted file systems. There can be many different file system types mounted simultaneously and VFS allows the Linux kernel to see and address them all in a similar way. This provides Linux with a great deal of flexibility. [JMH]
