Sort YouTube playlist videos alphabetically by title

Image from store Playlist Sorter for YouTube
Description from store PLEASE NOTE: this extension supports sorting up to approximately 100 videos in a playlist. The YouTube API is not designed to efficiently sort videos in a playlist. This means the extension must iterate over each individual video, and it will take time, and you may get a 429 or quota error if you attempt to sort a playlist with more than 100 videos. You've just uploaded 100 family videos to YouTube. You even put them in a playlist. But when you watch them, they're out of order. Manually reordering all those videos is a huge pain. Luckily, you named them with a year and month prefix. You go to the playlist settings and change the ordering to "Alphabetical". But wait, there is no option to sort alphabetically!?!?! This extension will let you sort your playlist videos by title, in ascending or descending order. YouTube is a trademark of Google Inc. Use of this trademark is subject to Google Permissions.

  • (2023-11-08) BosApollo: Does not work if there are more than 300 videos in a playlist.
  • (2023-10-14) Jake Canning: Works great and no confusion about how to use it! Installed, logged in my youtube account, clicked on the playlist I wanted to sort, and clicked A to Z. It automatically sorted a playlist that I never had the patience to sort myself and in just a few seconds. Thanks developer!
  • (2023-08-28) Peter Toole: This isn't working for me. I installed it, and I click on the button when I have both a playlist open, and a list of playlists. Both times, I get a 'login with youtube' button, and when I login (I was of course already logged in) it takes me to a sorted playlist! However - i can only exit this screen with the choice 'logout' - there is no other way out. If I logout, and reopen youtube, no longer sorted. If I just ignore and 'x', my other youtube tabs (or new ones) are no longer sorted. Not sure if this is by design....
  • (2023-06-28) Jack Ma: Never expect such thing exists
  • (2023-06-14) Muhammad Alfarisi: Very good, because if your playlist still up to 20 song it easy to do it yourself, but if going over 100 you need this tool
  • (2023-04-03) Shiv Roychowdhury: It's good for small playlists, but overall I've found that it struggles in playlists larger than 300. I've been getting errors with "429: Check quota". The playlist in question is about 1000 songs and is part of a migration from Spotify. This tool here doesn't sort correctly (i.e. doesn't account for song titles with a leading article word) but can optimize the sort so it doesn't fail: https://ytplaylistsorter.carterrj.co.uk/ Can this be updated to follow a similar system / doesn't error out?
  • (2023-03-22) baekhyeon kim: Hire this guy youtube.
  • (2023-03-19) Bill Coyne: Thank you Almighty Spirits! Please bless these people.
  • (2023-01-10) J Barndt: Works great, sorts by numbers too!
  • (2022-12-23) Hamid M: Greate extension, exactly did the job I expect. Well done!
  • (2022-12-05) RUBÉN NICOLÁS MARTÍN: Gracias a Dios, bendita extensión, bendito sea el desarrollador, ¡me ha ahorrado ordenar más de 300 vídeos! Al darle en YouTube a añadir muchos vídeos a una lista de reproducción en una operación en lote, los mete en la lista desordenados, como le da la gana, y no existe esta opción tan básica como es ordenar alfabéticamente. De nuevo, muchas gracias :'D
  • (2022-11-22) Hiale Alves: Gostei bastante, adicione também uma opção para tempo de reprodução, do menor pra o maior, do maior para o menor.
  • (2022-11-11) Kevin: Works as expected with no bugs. Perfect!
  • (2022-10-15) Mel: I'm so happy this extention exists! I'm can't believe it has to, but so thankful it does!
  • (2022-08-13) Nikita Nikolashin: Extension works - sorts playlist either by A-Z or Z-A. Unfortunately it does not have ability to sort by artist. If I would do such sorting, I would first try to extract artist from title (expect format "Artist - SongName"), then if the title has unknown format use author of the video as artist. Anyway, it is nice that such extension exists - I do not understand why YouTube still did not introduces adequate sorting.
  • (2022-07-01) Paddy Landau: I have a couple of huge playlists on YouTube Music. The sorter takes a while… But… It works! Which is a lot more than I can say for YouTube Music. It would be great if this were to also sort the "Your Likes" playlist, which it doesn't do.
  • (2022-06-07) Wending Wu: Awesome tool! Sucks that we still need something like this because the engineers at YT are either too deaf to hear customer complaints or too busy putting more busywork into their sprints.
  • (2022-06-04) Belle LaVie: It does mostly what it says it should but because of the severe limit on how many requests can be sent through the YT API it does not work for what I need it to do aka sorting a huge music playlist with 950 songs. I would love to see an update which will remember the progress it made in the first batch and start back up after the API lets it again because currently it stops at maybe a 5th of the list and keeps trying to run that same part over again.
  • (2022-03-26) Kevin D: Stellar product. Can't believe it's even necessary, I mean, come on Youtube, skimping on sorting options? Of all things? Others have complained about having to login to Youtube through the extension too frequently, but I think it's nice. It is reassuring to know the extension is not still logged into my Youtube account when I'm not using it.
  • (2022-01-20) VRChat Archives: not bad but will be great if it has dark mode and can be accessed within youtube itself
  • (2022-01-02) Lokman Afandy: youtube should add this feature built in
  • (2021-10-15) Jim Ranso: Worked like a dream! Excellent!
  • (2021-09-03) Devon Shippam: I really want to like this extension but every time I try to use it, I always get the following error: ERROR 429: Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota). This extension was updated as little as five weeks ago--this error should not STILL be happening!
  • (2021-07-31) Alex: First chrome app I gave a review for. You have saved me so much trouble that Google wouldn't care about, thanks!
  • (2021-07-30) Garry “Machine” Cross: I was looking to sort the list of playlists, not inside the playlists themselves. Is it possible to add this functionality?
  • (2021-07-15) Isaac Silva: "403: The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota" What does it mean? It won't work anymore :-(
  • (2021-07-11) Frank H.: 實用
  • (2021-06-16) Allan Hansom: Does exactly what it needs to do Makes you log in (which makes sense since its managing your playlists). I was in and out in five minutes, with hundreds of videos sorted to my preference. Great job!
  • (2021-06-01) Paul Marjoram: This is a life-saver for those with long playlists. Mine have 1000s of songs and, absent a more fully-featured version of Youtube Music, sorting them via this app is the only way I have found of identifying duplicates. Thanks for putting this together!
  • (2021-05-28) Gabriel White: I am getting this message: Error retrieving playlists: Error retrieving playlists: 403. Is this a bug? Is there any way to work around it?
  • (2021-05-15) Gabriel Ninô: Used to be great, but now it always fails to load my playlists, which worked fine before.
  • (2021-05-05) Ahmet Erden: Does what it has to do. Great helper.
  • (2021-05-02) A B: Doesn't work on watch later playlist, limited sorting options.
  • (2021-04-20) Gary Jenkins: Thank you! I have large playlists with 400-500 entries and sometimes they would contain multiple versions of songs that were nearly identical but differed by a few seconds in length. Finding the duplicates was always a pain before, but once the list is sorted it is much easier. Thank you for providing this extension!
  • (2021-03-19) Mark Hutchison: It is sadly no longer working. It requires manual edit to be enabled, however that option can't be found through the new playlist interface. Without turning that on, it can't work.
  • (2021-03-12) Abdullah Alghafli: Hello, This does not work on Private windows apparently. 1/5 until proven otherwise.
  • (2020-12-13) Xolani Khumalo: I cannot find how to sort playlists to "manual". Someone help
  • (2020-12-01) Paul Jordan: I have a YTM playlist with 960 music tracks in it - at the speed it's going it's going to take 3/4hour to complete the A-Z list @ about 2.5secs per track. Is this normal?
  • (2020-10-07) Karl Martin: This is perfect. Works well, I was looking for something that can help me sort songs on YouTube Music, since YouTube Music and YouTube shares the same library and playlist it does sort my stuff on YouTube Music as well. Exactly what I was looking for.
  • (2020-09-22) Mikarlwave: Gotta say does what it says it says it does, and does it well. Love it. I would love to see a sorting function that has to do with the channel. For example grouping same channel videos together and having the channels be alphabetically ordered. That would be extremely awesome especially for music playlists. Anyways really great and thank you!
  • (2020-08-23) James Maple: Only seems to support alphabetical sorting which youtube does anyway. Pointless.
  • (2020-08-16) Julian C: This extension is really good. However, when I use it on my music playlist, it doesn't work at all. For example, some will be sort as it's title and some will be sort as it's author. I think the reason might be the name of the song in YouTube and YouTube Music is different. If able, please the devs fix this problem but it's ok if it's not possible.
  • (2020-07-25) Alexandru-Daniel Florea: "Error because you execed your quota"...
  • (2020-07-10) Maya Diamant-Cohen: This was great and really helped me sort out my videos, saved me time and was wonderful. My issue is that it stopped working and I can't find a way to fix it. At first it couldn't get my videos, then it kept saying "error 403" and now it is telling me that I "exceeded my quota". I am not sure what to do in this case and would love some advice. Thanks again :)
  • (2020-07-10) Pentameron: After login, it displays: Error retrieving playlists: Error retrieving playlists: 403
  • (2020-04-10) Molly Allen: It does not work. My playlists are still out of order. Very disappointed. I will be deleting this extension.
  • (2020-03-18) Dafni: I need this but why does it need permission to post comments publicly? nope.
  • (2020-03-08) Uroš Kotolenko: great, just what i was looking for! thanks a lot!
  • (2020-03-04) Danny D.: I doesnt offer me any option for sorting playlists, just load them.
  • (2020-01-02) Влад Полюхович: Very useful extension. But it have not enough sorting options, the option to sort videos alphabetically with group by publisher would be great.

  • (2023-03-18, v:1.0.3) Hannah (GGNDRiRock): 429: Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).
    I loooove this extension and it does work, just not very well in big playlists. I use it for my music library now and have a playlist with all in, so 3,000 in total and it can sort around 312 of these before the "429: Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota)." error comes up and it sstops. Is there a way to get round this? Or for it to skip those already done and do it in 300 batches or something. You're already better than YouTube for this, it's crazy they don't have it (and by artist, album etc. for YouTube Music!) so thank you =D
  • (2022-10-15, v:1.0.3) Mel: Creator/Album/Artist Sort?
    I don't know how this would translate I would appreciate a 'creator' or 'album' sort option to combine artist and album together if possible. For example, if i have a 'gaming playlist' sort the 'Markiplier' from the 'Jacksepticeye' In terms of music sort the 'Ed Sheeran' ahead of the 'Queen, and if possible within the 'Queen' sort 'A night at the opera' Ahead of 'News of the world' But even just gathering the creators together would be an amazing sort addition!
  • (2022-07-01, v:1.0.3) Paddy Landau: Please include "Your Likes" from YouTube Music
    YouTube and YouTube Music share their playlists, but I'm not sure about "Your Likes" from YouTube Music. This isn't the same playlist as "Liked Videos." If it's possible (it might not be), please would you include YouTube Music's "Your Likes" in the list of playlists to allow it to be sorted? Thank you!
  • (2022-06-13, v:1.0.3) Václav Vlček: Playlist Sorter stopped working
    Hello, thank you for really helpful piece of software, been using it for over year and sorted many playlists. But now suddenly it stopped working. When I click on button Login with Youtube, nothing happens. Tried relaunch Chrome, incognito window, reinstalling Playlist sorter. But nothing helps, that dialog for selecting Youtube account just wont popup. Is it just my computer or Google changed some API calls so it stopped working? Thanks for any tips or info...
  • (2021-12-27, v:1.0.3) WoWaN Nihel: Too much playlists
    Hello. I've got too much playlists in my youtube, so the list of all playlists needs to be sorted. Also it needs search for playlist by date or by part of name. Thank You.

  • (2021-08-16, v:1.0.3) Joshua Seah: Error retrieving playlist details: 400
    This extension worked fine even for 1000+ playlists a few weeks ago. However yesterday, I tried loading up a playlist with 1500 videos in it, and it said "Error retrieving playlist details: 400". This happened with every playlist I had with over 1000 videos. In the console, the error redirects to a google api link which states that "The request is missing a valid API key." However, playlists with 900 - 999 videos or fewer load just fine.

  • (2021-08-07, v:1.0.3) ce ce: Rename your extension to YouTube Library Playlist Content Alphabetical Sorter
    Rename your extension to YouTube Library Playlist Content Alphabetical Sorter Renaming your extension to YouTube Library Playlist Content Alphabetical Sorter & providing a better description in the Overview section explaining to others what this extension DOES and Does NOT do could possibly clear some of the negative comments from others that are getting confused with the intent of this extension. This extension ONLY sorts the contents of video playlists by name NOT the Names of the playlists themselves in the library (as the YouTube API does not allow extensions to reorder the Library playlists by names). For example: YouTube gives you the following options to sort your videos in the playlists Date added (newest) Date added (oldest) Most popular Date published (newest) Date published (oldest) This extension will give you the additional option to sort them alphabetically as well by taking you to a different page and automatically sorting them for you once you press the A-Z sorting button. NOTE: YouTube has recently removed the "manual" option from the sort menu. You must now put the playlist in manual order mode by dragging a video to a new position. After that, Playlist Sorter can sort the playlist. (((also Explain any limitations to the amount of maximum videos allowed to be sorted or fix any maximum limitation))) If you want to sort the names of the playlists in the library and NOT the videos in the playlists themselves you need to Step #1) Go to your YouTube Library https://www.youtube.com/feed/library Step #2) Scroll down to Playlists Step #3) Click on Recently added and click on the drop down icon represented by a v and change to A-Z *The default viewing format for the Playlists on the left hand side menu is always set to Recently added at the top which is imposed by YouTube and not able to be changed at this time. ***There is NO way to change the order and alphabetically sort Playlists in YouTube Studio; again this is a limitation imposed by Google/YouTube***
  • (2021-08-07, v:1.0.3) ce ce: ERROR 429: Resource has been exhausted (e.g. check quota).

  • (2021-04-23, v:1.0.2) joygt3: Sort by Duration

Please reply, it's important because some lists are more than 300-400 clips and manual search'n'replace is a no-go
