@efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc help me test~

Filter is visible when the user only has one playlist. Not very usefull to the user to show it if they cant use it. I would suggest showing the filter when user has more than 1 playlist

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

Just created 3 playlist to set a baseline for the filters

• A-Z Linus,PSU,Tablet
• Z-A Tablet,PSU,Linus
• LC Tablet,PSU,Linus
• EC Linus,PSU,Tablet
• LU Tablet,PSU,Linus
• EU Linus,PSU,Tablet

VirtualBoxVM_8Pq9eSkNar.mp4

Changed playlist name

• A-Z Linus,PSU,Tablet
• Z-A Tablet,PSU,Linus
• LC Linus,PSU,Tablet
• EC Linus,PSU,Tablet
• LU Tablet,PSU,Linus
• EU Linus,PSU,Tablet

LC changed even though this has nothing to do with LC

Removing a video in the playlist does not give it the first spot when sorted by latest updated

You makes me find a bug where the updates to playlists are not partial (but complete replace) when updating playlists
Which causes the created time to be absent later (in same window and DB)

Now should be all fixed

Details for nedb partial update op:
$set need to be used for simple documents as partial updates
I put the following code into https://npm.runkit.com/%40seald-io%2Fnedb to test:

const Datastore = require("@seald-io/nedb")
const db = new Datastore()

await db.insertAsync({ _id: 1, videos: [], name: "111", lastUpdatedAt: 9999 })
console.log(await db.findAsync({ _id: 1 }))

await db.updateAsync({ _id: 1 }, { $set: { lastUpdatedAt: 8888 } }, { upsert: true })
console.log(await db.findAsync({ _id: 1 }))

await db.updateAsync({ _id: 2 }, { $set: { lastUpdatedAt: 8888 } }, { upsert: true })
console.log(await db.findAsync({ _id: 2 }))

await db.updateAsync({ _id: 1 }, { lastUpdatedAt: 8888 }, { upsert: true })
console.log(await db.findAsync({ _id: 1 }))

await db.updateAsync({ _id: 1 }, { _id: 1, lastUpdatedAt: 8888 }, { upsert: true })
console.log(await db.findAsync({ _id: 1 }))

Sorry for taking so long. That bug is indeed solved now.

• Could u address [Feature Request]: Sort playlists #48 (comment)
• Also the naming naming latest and earliest throws me off a bit but i dont have a suggestions what might be a better fit

Random thought would be a nice to have to see the filters in the playlist view and maybe in add to playlist view

[PikachuEXE]

Forgot, see 69406b2 which changed logic for filter input AND sort select

Recently Created/Updated? (But what about Earliest...

would be a nice to have to see the filters in the playlist view and maybe in add to playlist view

You mean... add filter in "add to playlist view"?
Edit: Wait there is a filter in "add to playlist view"
Edit 2: Do you mean sorting...?

LGTM

Recently Created/Updated? (But what about Earliest...

Recently Updated sounds better to me. Ugh idk what to do about earliest...

Sorry for the confusion. It would be nice to also see the sort by in the following views

Let me know if you find any regression (I hope not

[PikachuEXE]

Add playlists sort order for last played at (local playlists only)
New sort order used as default

Will come back to this later today this will take me a bit longer to test!

I do not see anything weird so LGTM but if i do i'll let u know!

Could u also add the sort by dropdown when u go into one of your local playlist
I dont think most of the filters would fit on that page

the ones that will fit are

• A-Z (Video title)
• Z-A (Video title)
• A-Z (Channel name)
• Z-A (Channel name)
• Custom (Custom sorting will be set when user moves a video up/down in the list)
• Sorting by upload date of video (Recently uploaded / Earliest uploaded)
• Sort by views (Most viewed / Least Viewed)
• Sort by video length (Shortest somthing? / Longest somthing)
• Sort by Recently added / Earliest added

I rather do it in v2...
Plus this is about sorting videos in playlist not sorting playlistssss

I think u mean the opposite. Im requesting sorting videos in playlist but this feature request is about sorting playlists. You're right that this isnt the right place to ask for it but im going to push back a little because i think that this is a very valuable thing to add in v1

[PikachuEXE]

Plus this is about sorting videos in playlist not sorting playlistssss

For this I mean your request lol

I understand it's valuable but I don't guarantee implementing it in v1 and probably not in initial PR (nice to have, won't upset user too much if absent things)

Anyway, put that into another issue

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

Sure, Everything in here LGTM so closing

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

Oh lol this is your issue cant close
