You can only show ownership, not creation.

As of now it is not possible with 'ls' command but you don't need to worry 'find' is your friend. Suppose my folder is -> /root/sam and I am looking for file owned by shubham, so following command would do the task-
find /root/sam -user shubham
In case you want specific files, say .php files, then following command can be used-
find /root/sam -user shubham "*.php"

As said in the comments, you can only find files that are owned by a certain user. Who created a file is not stored on Unix/Linux systems in general. The following command will give you your file listing.
find /path/to/directory -user USERNAME
So to find all files from user pete in the home directory of user john use the following command
find /home/john -user pete
You need to have the right permissions to search /home/john. When you are not logged in as root the command should be preceded by 'sudo'
sudo find /home/john -user pete
