Order Playlist (Most Recent First)

    Is it possible to have the playlist appear with the most recent on top and go backward to the oldest? Is there a sort parameter that can be used?

    We are using the playlist shortcode: [automatic_youtube_gallery playlist=”XYZ123″]

    Thanks!

    We use YouTube’s Data API to get the videos from a playlist https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/list

    Unfortunately, the API itself doesn’t give any option to request the videos in a specific order.

    Still, we can apply a trick by storing the API response somewhere in the database and custom sorting the videos based on the video data received. Still, this would work only for small playlists. Note, we could request only 50 videos per API request and also the YouTube API is not 100% FREE. Considering all this, this would be better possible only if there is an option from the API itself.

    So, I’m sorry that technically this is not possible at least for now ??

    Thank you so much for your reply! Although the outcome is not what I desire, I appreciate your time for the explanation and realize it does not make sense for YOU to do the extra coding in the plugin.

    Have a great day!

    Paul.
