Feature description

Please add sorting options to the playlist view - Latest added, Oldest added, A-Z, Z-A, Latest release date, Oldest release date.

Why do you want this feature?

Currently, the playlists are always sorted from oldest added to newest added. I have to scroll for a long time to get to the bottom of the playlist to see new videos.

Looks like vanilla NewPipe has existing issues related to this kind of feature:

I'd rather wait for vanilla NewPipe to implement this to reduce the amount of potential conflicts my fork may have.

Okay, I understand. However, the relevant issue is over 4 years old, and with newpipe focusing it's efforts on the gradual rewrite, i doubt it's likely we'll see a small QOL feature like this in the following few years. That's why I opened it here, in hopes of getting it sooner, but I understand if it increases the differences between vanilla and your fork.
