i see it too.

i have sent numerous feedback asking for a sort by length in playlists. that feature doesn't seem to align with their vision of good playlist management somehow.

Still no way to see how many videos are in a channel though? Unless I need to pay more attention.

OT: I wish there was a way to create a playlist from music youtube suggestions. I am losing some good things when accidentally closing a tab.

I use Firefox and more than often I restore last closed tabs (by mistake like you!) with Ctrl+Shift+T.

Of course, there's History and "Restore Previous Session" which saves you from countless nightmares when the next time you boot your computer you want to restore what you last viewed or had opened.

It helps immensely!

Now for them to bring back the 5 star rating system and video replies!

On the android app at least, the video count is next to subscriber count below the name and above the description on the channel's page.

Doesn’t seem to have hit the iPad app yet and I don’t have any updates pending at the moment, but this is still excellent news. Thanks for the heads up!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you clear your cookies for YouTube only and try again? It could help.

just cleared my cookies, re-logged in, and no ability to sort by oldest. :(

Have patience, it will get visible to all users eventually.

This extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sort-by-oldest/mig... added (logically yesterday, if we see its date in description) an End of Life announcement due to the return of this option.

Youtube music will replace the playlist with new suggestions (it makes a new playlist with the first song being the one that was playing or on pause when the tab was closed), so even though the tab gets restored its content doesn't.

Mixes and user playlist are different from suggestion playlists.

...and the dislike counting! I don't want to depend on an extension to know whether a video worth to watch or not.
