How to Sort a YouTube Playlist by Date or Title

YouTube only lets the owner reorder a playlist, and even then the options are limited. With playlist.tools you can sort any public playlist however you like, without changing the original.

Sorting options

Paste the playlist and pick a sort: by date (newest or oldest first), by title (A–Z), default (creator order), or shuffle for variety. The change is instant and only affects your view.

Works on playlists you don't own

Because the sorting happens on your side, you can reorder any public playlist — university lectures, conference talks, music, or tutorials — without needing edit access.

You can do all of this free on playlist.tools — paste any playlist URL and start sorting and tracking in seconds.
