Chrome extension to sort YouTube's Watch Later playlist by duration

The extension only allows to sort/backup/restore Watch Later playlist.

- DO NOT USE, it will delete your playlist I tried to sort my WL playlist with >1000 items. It wasn't doing anything for 2+ minutes so I reloaded. Now my WL playlist is only 200 items long.
