Sort By: Oldest - Restore YouTube Sort Feature

'Sort By: Oldest' is a Chrome extension designed to counteract the absence of YouTube's 'sort by oldest' feature. This versatile tool allows users to navigate channel pages by starting with the oldest content, providing an alternative avenue for browsing. Features include a loading animation that displays the status of loaded videos, with an option to disable in settings. The extension also supports sorting of YouTube shorts and livestreams. Note: YouTube plans to reinstate the original feature soon, making this extension obsolete. However, its utility to-date does not go unnoticed, acknowledged by the grateful user community.
