FEATURE REQUEST: Sort playlist by view count

Open MyPingO opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

PROBLEM: Can't find the most popular video in a playlist

SOLUTION:
Option to sort playlists by view count

ALTERNATIVES: Pasting the link of the playlist into a website that does this. Annoying to go to another site each time.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: I think everyone would like this, its good for many use cases when trying to find a popular video or if you know a rough estimate of a videos views, but not title.

"SIDE EFFECTS":
I don't think so... seems perfectly fine to have

CONTEXT: I love this extension, you guys are awesome!

Try to get the logic of sorting first, and then adapting should be simpler.

I tried once last week, and for some reason, the first and last videos were completely ignoring my sorting.

For a playlist with 13 videos, only the 2nd to 9th or so were sorted.

Normally, the hardest part is figuring out how to come up with a good logic to overcome the YT constant changes on the page, using MutationObserver and other tactics.
