Playlist Organization

Today we're introducing two new ways to organize your videos and playlists.

You can now reorder your playlists in the sidebar, and you can reorder and sort the videos in a playlist.

Let me show you how this works.

So I've got a lot of playlists here with the team.

Especially, there's a playlist I use quite often, which is this one called Cool Videos, which has lots of cool videos, and examples that I like to share.

But it's all the way down the bottom and that's kind of annoying.

So it's one of the earliest playlists I made.

So I'm going to just click and drag this.

And now I can put this all the way up the top here, because I use it a lot.

And so now you can just basically click and drag to rearrange playlists, in the sidebar, to put them in the order that makes sense for how often you use them or if you kind of want things out of the way.

So that is how you reorder playlists, in the sidebar.

You can do the same with the personal ones as well.

The second thing is that when you're in a playlist, we've added some new ways to organize and sort and order you'll see this new sorting option.

By default, it's set to last updated, but now you can change that to other stuff, like date added.

You can see that that's changed the order here, because this video is the last one that I added to this playlist.

We've also got name, so you can sort your videos alphabetically.

And probably the coolest one is custom.

And this lets you create a custom order of the videos in your playlist.

And to do that, you just click on a video and then drag it into the new spot that you want.

This is perfect for public playlists, where you want your audience to watch the videos in a certain order, and so you can add them into the playlist and edit them however you want, but you can then define the ultimate order that the viewers will Access them in.

so this is a public playlist, and if we head over to the public instance of this, You can see we've got the one that we just put at the start now as the first video in the public and instance of the playlist, and so we can change the ordering and then that will update here whether it's custom or if we switch to one of the other sorting options, that'll then be reflected in the public instance of the playlist.
