The most popular video platform in the world – YouTube is persistently testing and implementing new features to its users.
YouTube is a video-sharing platform that makes it easy to watch online videos. Also, it allows you to upload your own videos to share with others.
Having multiple good features doesn’t stop Youtube to keep testing and bringing up new updates and features to its users in order to be on top of the video streaming app.
Youtube ‘sort videos by oldest’ feature missing or removed
Recently many users have been reporting that the Youtube sort by oldest feature disappeared or Youtube removed this feature. users are frustrated and demanding to bring back sort by oldest feature. this issue was first covered by Piunikaweb.
@TeamYouTube It’s been almost a week since sort by oldest has disappeared from Youtube. Will it be brought back in the next update or will you just keep on replying to related tweets with an automated message? source
@TeamYouTube please bring back the “oldest” video tab. source
Now users have to access the oldest videos by manually scrolling down the list of videos which can be an irritating and time-consuming process, especially with the channel having hundreds or thousands of videos.
