Arrange employee videos by listing the videos, checking their order, and choosing a way to keep the sequence clear. A tool can help when a playlist needs sorting. | Option | How it arranges videos | |---|---| | Paper list or notes | You arrange titles and details by hand | | Spreadsheet | You organize information in a sheet and create an order from the details added | | YTSort | Reorders a YouTube playlist you own by video length, shortest or longest first [^1] | ## What you need before you start Arranging employee videos starts with knowing what videos need to be organized and why the order matters. - **A playlist or list of videos.** Make sure the videos are in a place where the order can be reviewed before training begins. - **A reason for the order.** Decide whether the sequence should follow a course path, shorter sessions first, or another training goal. - **Video details.** Keep titles, lengths and any notes needed to decide where each video belongs. - **A place to keep the final order.** A playlist, paper list or spreadsheet can hold the sequence. - **A browser if using a tool.** Check that the chosen tool works with the browser available before starting. Set aside time to review the full sequence before sharing it with employees. A quick review can help catch videos that appear in the wrong place. ## Step by step These steps work with any approach, including a manual list or a tool. 1. **Open the employee video collection.** Confirm that the playlist or list contains the videos that need arranging. 2. **Write down each video.** Record the title and any details needed to decide where it belongs. 3. **Check the training flow.** Keep videos together when one lesson depends on another. 4. **Choose the ordering rule.** Decide whether the videos should follow a learning path, video length or another clear reason. 5. **Arrange the videos.** Move items into the chosen order by hand or use a tool that can help. 6. **Review the new sequence.** Read through the list before applying the changes. 7. **Apply the order.** Update the playlist or list so employees see the intended sequence. 8. **Share the training material.** Provide the arranged videos to the people who need them. 9. **Review after use.** Change the order if the training flow does not match the need. ## Tools that can do it You do not need software for this. Here are options to consider. **Paper list or notes.** You write each video title and arrange the order by hand. This can work when the list is small or changes often. **A spreadsheet.** A column for titles, a column for length and a sort on the information you add can help create a working order. Check the spreadsheet tool's own details for limits and cost. **YTSort.** YTSort is made by the team that publishes this site.

[^1] ## Common mistakes to avoid **Ignoring the training order.** A shorter video is not always the right first step when lessons depend on earlier information. Check the learning path before changing the sequence. **Changing the order without a review.** Read the full list after arranging it so videos appear where expected. **Forgetting ownership of a playlist.** Confirm that the playlist can be changed before trying to reorder it. **Leaving long videos without a plan.** If longer videos move later in the list, decide when employees should watch them. **Using a tool without checking its details.** Review what a tool does before choosing it for a training workflow. ## Frequently asked questions ### How can YTSort arrange employee videos in a YouTube playlist?
