Sorting search results within a youtube channel. #2557

Open Bogdanov89 opened 2 months ago

Bogdanov89 commented 2 months ago

⚬ PROBLEM: When on a youtube Channel (lets say "Microsoft") you search for a term (lets say "Windows") Youtube search will show all the search results from that youtube channel without any option to sort the search results by Date/Latest/Oldest or Popularity or anything else. So when that youtube channel has made 20++ videos on a certain topic (like Windows) without making/updating a playlist it is a nightmare to go through the shown channel search results because the results are a randomly jumbled mess in no sensible order.

⚬ SOLUTION:
It would be phenomenal if we could choose a sorting of the channel search results or at least have the sorting of the search results within a channel be by Date (either Latest or Oldest, either is better than random).

⚬ RELEVANCE / SCOPE: Honestly i think most people would prefer that the search results of videos within a channel are sorted by Date instead of the current senseless random.

⚬ "SIDE EFFECTS":
I do not think there would be any notable side effects from this option.

⚬ CONTEXT: This would make searching through youtube channels that do not keep their playlists updated SO MUCH BETTER!!! Thank you for all your work and effort!

SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem Search results within a youtube channel can not be sorted at all.
Solution Let users choose to sort youtube channel search results by Latest, Oldest or Popularity.
Alternatives If choice is not easy to implement then at least make it default sorted by Latest or Oldest (if option is enabled).
Scope I imagine almost every human would prefer sorted by date instead of chaotic random channel search results.
Side effects Unknown
Context Amazing quality of life improvement for searching through imperfectly maintained youtube channels.
