John Lewis (ID: 0000008b5b8234dd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/10/2024 As of today, I can confirm this extension now works in my Watch Later playlist. That was the last thing I was hoping for, so many thanks to the developer. You made a great solution for what YouTube decided to drop some years ago. Blessings! April 10, 2024 The new sort playlist feature is a really cool additon to an already great extension. WTG, dev team!
