How to Change YouTube Playlist Order Sequence- How to Reorder Videos in YouTube Playlist

I recently made a video on how to create a YouTube playlist but last week I got a question about how to set the playback order of the videos in the list. It’s quite easy to do.

This is really useful when you have a sequence of videos that need to play in a certain order. And it helps when sharing a playlist for others to view. You can set your playback sequence for music videos and tutorials that need to follow a particular order.

You can change the YouTube playlist order in the Playlist settings. And it's a good idea to have several playlists on your channel to make it easy for viewers to find your content and for you to stay organized.

I hope you found this video helpful and if you did please give me a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel TheRenderQ for more how-to videos and product reviews.

I thought this was going to be about how to change the order of the playlists themselves, not about how to change the order of the videos inside a playlist.
Do you know how to change the order of the playlists for when the viewers are looking at all of the playlists on a channel? Thx.

Hi, I mean no offense; but have a suggestion. You might consider removing the first part of this video title; i.e., "How to Change Playlist Order Sequence-" because the terms are a bit ambiguous; and your video content shows "How to make changes to the video sequence within a playlist." What your content covers, is referred to in the 2nd part of your title. I noticed because after watching your video, I still needed help for my project.

I was looking for how to change the order in which playlists appear. The words I suggest you delete, arguably describe what I need, but your instructions don't address that. (What I'd like to do might not be possible.)

It's nearly Christmas and I wanted my Christmas Song list to be at the top of my playlists on several channels. On 2 or 3 such channels, I had created a Christmas Song list, but later made 1-2 more playlists, pushing the song list to 2nd or 3rd place. Anyway, that's my suggestion and then your title won't appear that it's addressing something it isn't. And thanks for your video content; it might be a better way than how I've been doing it.

This doesn't work for me anymore since last week.. I can drag but it just falls back to the same spot it came from.

I have a playlist of over 1100 videos that are in alphabetical order according to song title. How do I quickly rearrange them?

[yonekoBByeah]

is it possible to re-order the playlist (not the video in the playlist)? I am referring to the different playlist to be rearranged... I already tried "video manager>playlist>view> [newest created. oldest created, a-z, z-a] but nothing happened.

This shows how to order your videos, not the playlist order. I want to change the order of my PLAYLIST to the order I want them to appear. Is there a way to do this?

This video talked about changing the order of the videos INSIDE the playlist and it was very helpful, but how do you change the order of the playlists as they appear for the viewers? Another question, how do you change the order of the playlists as they appear for the content creator when in their STUDIO view? Either would be helpful thanks.

How do you change the order of your playlists in the playlist tab?
I have 2 playlists, I want 1 of them to be in front.
When people come to my channel I want the "Uploads" playlist to be in front and the other playlist after it.

helped me do what i wanted in 10 seconds, straight to the point :)

Question: how do you move the order of the actual folders themself though ? For example, i have different playlist folders and id like to move them so some show up first

[frenkyb]

Thanks. Things today are a little different, but basic principle stayes the same.

How do I get my newest videos to be 1st on a specific playlist I created? I followed instructions but still newest video doesn't appear, please advise.

[frabrat]

try this on a playlist with above 500 videos, and try then to move a video from bottom to top, you will do it once, but if you want to rearrange many videos from bottom to top, after placing it to the top you will need to scroll down all the videos again. This is my problem. Its taking too much time, its like being again in 70s.

[hengteng]

very help full thanks for showing this

[DailyWrestling]

Really wish YouTube let you do this in a more compact and easy way. I have a 166 video playlist which is out of order (as was the upload order), and it's taking me FORVER to move it all into place.

[zoiuduu]

how do i change the order of another person playlist? i only see the option "repeat playlist" and "ramdom reproduction", , , i want to see the last video first, an the lastest video last

[mandykerr]

Im going to rephrase my question: Can you reoder the playlists? Not the contents of the playlists. Example: I want Monday playlist and its content, at top of order, and Sunday at bottom of Playlists so that I can create a sequence. The content within each playlist I can manipulate.. It's the sequence of my list of Playlists Im interested in changing.

I also put a "dislike" on this video simply because the title is misleading. I agree with all the others commenting. You don't have to change the video; just change the title, OR put a note in the description that "changing the actual order of the Playlists on the Channel Playlists page cannot be done. Or point to directions for doing it. Appreciate your effort. Would be nice to find a solution to this.

[sharonkayse]

Instead of getting the little cross that you get when you hover I just get a square box beside each video that enables me to select. The moving the placement of the video is not offered. Please let me know how you do this in the newer YouTube.

Super video. Short and sweet and right to the point!!
