Last night I was browsing youtube and attempted to use my favorite feature “Sort By: Number of Views.” I sat there confused for at least 30 seconds wondering what was wrong. Turns out they ninja’d my sorting feature and replaced it with “Uploaded: Today | This week | This month | All time” The problem is that clicking on those only groups them by upload time, it doesn’t sort anything.

To make sure I wasn’t crazy I emailed them and got this in response.

Hi there,
Thanks for your email. Users can no longer sort by the View Count, Rating, and Most Recent categories. The search filters are now by upload time (today | this week | this month | all time) and the default sort is by relevancy.

However please note that user feedback is very important to us, and your comments and ideas will be used to improve the YouTube community.

Thanks youtube, you got rid of the ONLY feature I used and totally removed that functionality. GIVE BACK SORT!
