# END OF LIFE

YouTube has brought back this feature properly now.

Thanks to everyone who used this extension and especially those who contributed with issues and PRs. It was a fun run.

## Return Youtube Sort By Oldest

 This browser extension returns the Youtube Sort By: Oldest feature. It basically inverts the videos with a animation overlay(which can be disabled in settings).

# [Add to Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sort-by-oldest/miglaibdlgminlepgeifekifakochlka)  

# [Add to Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/sort-by-oldest/) 

# [Add to Microsoft Edge](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/sort-by-oldest/goommoejopdlpinofbhmkahjdciaepbi)

### Known current issues

- Microsoft Edge support pending

- If channel has many videos loading time will be long.

### How it works

Basically when `/videos` is found in the url it activates `contentScript.js`. It then creates the button on a 1s delay which allows the DOM to fully load. Once the button is pressed, it injects `styles` which is css that includes `flex-direction: column-reverse` and `flex-direction: row-reverse` which reverse the contents.

### How manually install

1. Download latest release .zip file

2. Go to extension manager in browser and enable Developer mode

3. Click `Load unpacked` and give the path to the extracted files.

### HELP WANTED

- reverse engineer api or use animations to cover loading time, if possible.

- Website needs alot of work, help with that would be great :)

- `contentScripts.js` needs to be refactored.

## Support the project!
