A plain guide for remote teams to gather, order and share video resources, with steps, tools to try and mistakes to avoid.

Put every video in one shared place, order it by a rule the whole team knows, and hand out a single link. One owner keeps the order so the list stays useful as the team changes.

| Option | How it keeps the videos organized |
|---|---|
| Shared folder | Every video sits in one place the team can open, in the order you put them in. |
| Spreadsheet | One sheet lists the videos with a title and a link, and a sort keeps the list in order. |
| YTSort | Reorders a YouTube playlist you own by video length, shortest or longest first. [^1] |

## What you need before you start

A few things make sharing organized video resources easier for a remote team.

- **A shared place for the videos.** The team needs one spot where every resource lives, so nobody hunts through inboxes or chat.
- **A naming or ordering rule the whole team knows.** When everyone agrees how videos are named or ordered, a new member can find the right one fast.
- **One owner of the order.** One person keeps the list current, so two people do not move the same video.
- **One link to share.** The team gets a single address that opens the organized list, not many.
- **The right permission for each member.** Decide who can edit the order and who only views it.

Set a short moment aside before the next team catch-up. Sorting the list while people are already using it tends to break the flow.

## Step by step

These steps work with any tool, including a shared folder and a sheet of paper.

1. **Pick the shared place.** Choose the folder, drive, or playlist where all the videos will live.
2. **Give every video a clear name.** A title that says what the video covers beats a file number.
3. **Add the videos to the shared place.** Move or link each resource so it is reachable from one spot.
4. **State the order rule.** Decide whether the list is newest first, shortest first, or by topic, and write it down.
5. **Put the order in place.** Arrange the videos so the list matches the rule.
6. **Share one link.** Send the single address of the organized place, not each video separately.
7. **Tell the team the rule.** A short note in the shared space explains why the videos sit in that order.
8. **Name one owner.** That person reviews and updates the list when a video changes.
9. **Check the list now and then.** If a video is stale or the order stops helping, change it.

Start with a handful of videos the team uses most. Once the shared place works, add the rest in the same order.

## Tools that can do it

Teams do not need special software to share organized video resources. Here are options to consider.

**A shared folder.** One folder holds every video, and the team opens it by link. Nothing is published here about price or limits because they depend on what your team already uses.

**A spreadsheet.** A sheet with a title column and a link column keeps the list readable, and sorting a column reorders it. Check how it behaves on the devices your team uses. Facts about specific spreadsheet apps are not provided here, so check their own pages for limits and cost.

**YTSort.** YTSort is made by the team that publishes this site. YTSort is one option. Reorders a YouTube playlist you own by video length, shortest or longest first. [^1]

YTSort is free, and all its install options include the same features. [^1] It is free, open-source software under the GPL-2.0-only licence. [^1] You can get it through a bookmark, a browser script, or a Chrome Web Store extension. [^1] The extension needs Chrome or Edge, and the script version works in any browser, including Firefox, with Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey or Greasemonkey installed. [^1]

YTSort sends requests to YouTube's own system using your existing session, so there is no dragging or scrolling. [^1] It sorts the full playlist, not just the videos loaded on screen. [^1] After sorting, it reads the playlist back from YouTube and re-applies any moves that did not stick. [^1] It shows the before and after order so you can check it before applying. [^1] It shows the total, average, shortest and longest video duration for the playlist. [^1] It can sort only videos within a length range and move the rest to the end. [^1] It exports position, title, duration and URL of every video to a CSV file. [^1] Its panel follows YouTube's light or dark theme automatically. [^1] If its usual fast method is ever unavailable, it switches automatically to drag-and-drop. [^1]

## Common mistakes to avoid

**No single owner.** When everyone can move the videos, the list drifts. Name one person to keep the order.

**Unclear names.** A video called v3.mp4 does not help a remote teammate. Use a name that says what is inside.

**Many links instead of one.** When each video arrives as its own link, the team loses track. Share the single organized place.

**No written order rule.** If the rule lives only in one person's head, nobody else can keep the order. Write it down next to the list.

**Moving a playlist that is not yours.** Reordering a playlist only works on one that belongs to your account. Check who owns it first.

**Never reviewing the list.** Video resources go stale. Check the list now and then and update it.

## Frequently asked questions

YTSort is free, and all its install options include the same features. [^1] It is free, open-source software under the GPL-2.0-only licence. [^1] Because every install option carries the same features, a team does not compare two different versions of the tool when choosing one.

### Which browsers work with YTSort?

The add-on needs Chrome or Edge. [^1] The script version works in any browser, including Firefox, once you add a script manager such as Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey or Greasemonkey, a small add-on that runs scripts for you. [^1] It can also be run from a bookmark instead. [^1]

### Can YTSort sort the whole playlist and not just the videos on screen?
