YouTube: Sort by oldest is back baby
I was navigating around YouTube and found a channel I wanted to
watch its most popular videos and have noticed they added back the
oldest option!

| It helps immensely!

| Mixes and user playlist are different from suggestion
| playlists.

|
| How about hover on each suggestion and add it to "Watch Later"
| or even Queue? That also works, at least for me.

|
| For example, I don't watch League of Legends regularly, but I

| random game I'll probably get a good game by picking one with a
| lot of views within the last 2 or 3 months.
|
| Other times I might go a year or two without listening to an
| artist and I wanna check out their most popular videos in that
| time frame.
