Sort YouTube playlist videos alphabetically by title

Playlist Sorter for YouTube
Description from store

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.

Does not work if there are more than 300 videos in a playlist but that's okay for now. However, this is on chromes list of extensions to be removed. Any plans to update it so it passes their rules?

Jake Canning 2023-10-14

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!

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....

Never expect such thing exists

Muhammad Alfarisi 2023-06-14

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

Shiv Roychowdhury 2023-04-03

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?

Hire this guy youtube.

Thank you Almighty Spirits! Please bless these people.

J Barndt 2023-01-10

Works great, sorts by numbers too!

Hamid M 2022-12-23

Greate extension, exactly did the job I expect. Well done!

RUBÉN NICOLÁS MARTÍN 2022-12-05

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

Hiale Alves 2022-11-22

Gostei bastante, adicione também uma opção para tempo de reprodução, do menor pra o maior, do maior para o menor.

Kevin 2022-11-11

Works as expected with no bugs. Perfect!

Mel 2022-10-15

I'm so happy this extention exists! I'm can't believe it has to, but so thankful it does!

Nikita Nikolashin 2022-08-13

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.

Paddy Landau 2022-07-01

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.

Wending Wu 2022-06-07

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.

Belle LaVie 2022-06-04

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.

Kevin D 2022-03-26

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.

VRChat Archives 2022-01-20

not bad but will be great if it has dark mode and can be accessed within youtube itself

Lokman Afandy 2022-01-02

youtube should add this feature built in

Jim Ranso 2021-10-15

Worked like a dream! Excellent!

Devon Shippam 2021-09-03

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!

Alex 2021-07-31

First chrome app I gave a review for. You have saved me so much trouble that Google wouldn't care about, thanks!

Garry “Machine” Cross 2021-07-30

I was looking to sort the list of playlists, not inside the playlists themselves. Is it possible to add this functionality?

Isaac Silva 2021-07-15

"403: The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your quota" What does it mean? It won't work anymore :-(

Frank H. 2021-07-11

實用

Allan Hansom 2021-06-16

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!

Paul Marjoram 2021-06-01

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!

Gabriel White 2021-05-28

I am getting this message: Error retrieving playlists: Error retrieving playlists: 403. Is this a bug? Is there any way to work around it?

Gabriel Ninô 2021-05-15

Used to be great, but now it always fails to load my playlists, which worked fine before.

Ahmet Erden 2021-05-05

Does what it has to do. Great helper.

A B 2021-05-02

Doesn't work on watch later playlist, limited sorting options.

Gary Jenkins 2021-04-20

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!

Mark Hutchison 2021-03-19

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.

Abdullah Alghafli 2021-03-12

Hello, This does not work on Private windows apparently. 1/5 until proven otherwise.

Xolani Khumalo 2020-12-13

I cannot find how to sort playlists to "manual". Someone help

Paul Jordan 2020-12-01

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?

Karl Martin 2020-10-07

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.

Mikarlwave 2020-09-22

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!

James Maple 2020-08-23

Only seems to support alphabetical sorting which youtube does anyway. Pointless.

Julian C 2020-08-16

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.

Alexandru-Daniel Florea 2020-07-25

"Error because you execed your quota"...

Maya Diamant-Cohen 2020-07-10

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 :)

Pentameron 2020-07-10

After login, it displays: Error retrieving playlists: Error retrieving playlists: 403

Molly Allen 2020-04-10

It does not work. My playlists are still out of order. Very disappointed. I will be deleting this extension.

Dafni 2020-03-18

I need this but why does it need permission to post comments publicly? nope.

Uroš Kotolenko 2020-03-08

great, just what i was looking for! thanks a lot!

Danny D. 2020-03-04

I doesnt offer me any option for sorting playlists, just load them.

Влад Полюхович 2020-01-02

Very useful extension. But it have not enough sorting options, the option to sort videos alphabetically with group by publisher would be great.
