Return YouTube Sort by: Oldest

What is Sort By: Oldest?

'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.

while this extension does work well the problem is that it doesn't jump to the oldest video instantly like it used to be when the sort by button was there instead it scrolls down to each individual video slowly which can big problem if a youtuber has been making videos for like 10 years and they have over 1,000 videos or more on their channel we need an extension like this expect actually have it where if you press the oldest button it would jump to the oldest video/videos instantly
