YouTube will bring back a beloved video sorting feature
YouTube has a lot of great features to make the video-watching experience a treat. But, that doesn’t mean much if the company keeps taking them away. YouTube took away the video sorting feature that would sort a channel’s videos from the oldest to newest. However, according to Android Police, it seems that this feature could be making a comeback (maybe).
The feature would make it a lot easier to see the oldest video on a channel. The traditional method is to go to the channel and scroll until you can’t scroll anymore. That wouldn’t be a problem for channels with a few dozen videos, but major brands with hundreds if not thousands of videos will be a major pain.
While people enjoyed this feature, YouTube took it away. We knew that it was going away for some time, but the company officially took it away last October.
Well, YouTube might bring back the ability to sort videos by oldest
Apparently, this feature was more sought-after than the company thought because it’s making its way back to some corners of the YouTube ecosystem. Several Redditors have noticed the feature pop up again. There’s a screenshot below showing the Oldest Chip on the Android Headlines YouTube channel. The screenshot showed the mobile version of the app.
There are some oddities with this return. For starters, only a handful of people actually see this option. We were able to see the feature on our phone as you can see above. However, we don’t know how widespread this is.
Also, it appears that this feature isn’t visible on the desktop version of YouTube. That could be an issue for people who typically use that version. Lastly, it appears that this feature only works on certain channels.
At this point, we don’t know why YouTube is bringing this feature back in such a spotty way. In all honesty, we don’t know if YouTube is looking to bring this feature back at all. Only time will tell what YouTube’s intentions are.
