Sort YouTube playlist by video length and group by author
⚬ PROBLEM: There are about 100 videos in my "Watch Later" playlist. I keep adding new and deleting old ones, but the number hardly changes.
This gives me a frustration feeling that I was doing useless work. So I wanna watch the shorter videos first, and quickly make the number smaller. Or, sometimes I'd like to choose the longer videos (most likely podcasts) and keep them playing while I was doing housework or exercise at home.
But on Youtube website, I can only sort playlist videos by Time Added, by Video Post date.
I already searched in Chrome webstore, found no available extensions to solve this problem.
⚬ SOLUTION: 1. Automatically calculate the total video length of my playlist when I'm watching 2. Allow me to sort the playlist by video length, by video name, and to cancel any sorting. 3. It'll be perfect if I can arrange or group the videos by video author.

( while project:code-charity/1 in the searches referes to our todo list "priority A" )
- Generally prior to implementations it can be motivating, if the lucky chance should happen, that you like to ponder about the topic any bit further. (Or did already) (in other words mentally adopt the whole topic of playlists here to help define its To-do list [here in our Repo and or the world]. (While the next volunteer developer to come here me might not be user of YouTube playlists yet also underchallenged..) (And we might not be ready/funded to increase the www.youtube-maintenance-burden for any simple feature. Currently also on the To-Do list: "Decide to retire the reverse Playlist feature which made most our negative reviews after YouTube updates." )
