Are you annoyed by YouTube’s default practice of sorting Watch Later videos and other Playlists chronologically? Are you picky about the sorting methodology for each playlist? Then you’re in luck! YouTube in typical Google fashion introduced a setting to sort personal playlists but made it nearly unnoticeable for unassuming users. Learn how to control and sort YouTube playlists from YouTube’s desktop site.
First, navigate to the YouTube website and make sure to sign-in to your account.
Rules for how this works:
RELATED: Add YouTube Links to Watch Later Playlist Without Opening the App
Step 1: Playlists are accessible from the hamburger menu and depending on which version of YouTube you’re using it should look something like this:
From left to right: new vs old YouTube UI
Step 2: Once you select the playlist you’d like to control, press the Playlist settings button.
Press the Playlist settings button
Step 3: From the ordering drop-down change the preference and press Save.
Change ordering
Hitting the checkbox below the drop-down will make sure the newest videos are always on top.
If you’re controlling any other playlist apart from Watcher Later, the Playlist settings button will include more options such as:
Playlist Privacy: Ability to change the playlist from being publicly accessible via search or making it private.
Change playlist privacy
Auto Add: It’s a useful feature where YouTube automatically looks for certain predefined keywords and title names and automatically adds them to a playlist
Define rules to auto add videos
Collaborate: This will allow users to send links to playlists to colleagues and friends for collaboration purposes.
Add others as collaborators
Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, this setting is half baked and can only be accessed from YouTube’s desktop site and isn’t available for mobile users where a majority of the growth is occurring. But to be fair, once you change the preferences of playlists from the desktop, it’s automatically reflected throughout your mobile apps.
