Reordering playlist numerically

Open ellegirl1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

PROBLEM:

I cannot rearrange videos in my playlists using the click/drag feature at all. it's been broken for weeks now and Youtube has yet to fix it. I can click the video, but when dragging it, the video disappears, then jumps back to its spot on the list, rather than where I want it to go. It's stuck/unresponsive.

SOLUTION:

Years ago, Youtube used to allow users to numerically order videos, so that by simply changing the number of the video in the playlist, we could manually arrange our playlists to our liking. This would be a great feature for the addon to include/reintroduce.

ALTERNATIVES:

Overriding Youtube's click/drag feature with click/arrow buttons or WASD? (Or WS, rather). So we can at least Move videos up/down in the list, instead of just all the way to the top or bottom.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:

100% of users would benefit. Even if Yoytube fixes their playlists (unlikely), having more features and options is always good.

"SIDE EFFECTS":

0%. The Playlist feature could only benefit from more options.

CONTEXT: Firefox user; I haven't tested the problem on Chrome/mobile/etc Thank you!
