Hitting "Upload Date" no longer reorders the video results from search.


Really? Can you give me an example? Seems to be working OK for me.


You know how you can do YouTube one better? Offer to remember Sort. I tend to use several search terms every day. Having to manually sort each one is a real PITA. If I'm searching for "Nook HD+" and sort This Month/Upload Date, I'd like a checkbox that would keep that sort automagically for the next search terms I enter. That YouTube doesn't offer that -- and saved searches -- is a huge FAIL on their part.


I've thought about this but my concern is that it might harm more than it hurts. For example, I search for music albums sometimes and filter by "long (20+ minutes)" for that, but the other 90% of the time when searching I don't want it to keep that filter, so it would be more of a pain. Thoughts on that?


Sorry. User error. I was hitting the wrong damn button for "Upload Date" -- do you see that's there twice in the left column? I was not hitting the one right below "Relevance." DUH.

EDIT to add: The confusion is because the second "Upload Date" even though a header, actually turns bold like a button when clicked on!
