It doesn't work. I tried refreshing the video, and it still doesn't work! Since it's really annoying when searching things in our channels are so bad! I tried to search "chess", but my "Chess Type Beat" playlist is not there! So annoying!

I think this is better than Youtube Playlist alphabetical A-Z sorting. Because of YT policy today, watch for later has function of A to Z sort now. Thus, the only way to use s A to Z sort is store to playlist when you are playing.

A-Z icon is greyed out. Clicking on it does nothing at all. Luckily enough another extension: "Youtube Playlist alphabetical A-Z sorting" still works.
