I use 2 nice commands:

bin/rpm-q.dates (which sort rpms by installation time) :

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{installtime} %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%-10{arch} %{installtime:date}\n"|sort -n|sed -e 's/^[^ ]* //'

(less usefull now that /var/log/yum.log is available but easiest to read,
for me at least)

bin/rpm-q.dates.vendor (which list rpm by "vendor" name) :

rpm -qa --queryformat "%-15{vendor} %{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%-10{arch}. %{installtime:date}\n"|sort -n
