n20len2 (ID: 000000ecabd192cd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/18/2023 thank you for making this extension, google shall incorporate your work in youtube web page years ago, so far I could not find any problems, extension shall may/could be made more user friendly by eliminating EXTRA step needed to click square a-z inside pop window to force re-order list,

_Michael_ (ID: 0000002acca5ded0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/26/2023 Thank You for making this! spent a good 20 mins looking for a solution as I have many playlists that I already organized A-Z in my main library but my "save to" pop up menu wasn't, weird considering that it used to corrspond to each other in the past, YouTube should really implement this, and pay you too for the code XD

Maria Kahn (ID: 000000b6d9958cdb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/15/2023 Works fine. First it didn't work but I closed and restarted Chrome. After that it worked just fine.

The Refusionist (ID: 000000dc6a15f2f7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/01/2023 If you're using Brave, you have to unfortunately disable the shield in order to work it. Also, in the developer's video the A-Z button is green, but on brave it was greyed out. Still, when clicked, it worked! Worth the headache of disabling the shields momentarily on youtube in order to gain that sorting function.

Laura Mallard (ID: 00000007af01c737) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/25/2023 I have over 200 saved playlist (the librarian in me I guess). It would drive me crazy when saving a video as youtube has no order in the save to list. This was an answer to prayer. I can find the folder I am looking for so quickly using the A-Z feature. Thank you so much!
