[LINK] RFI: Youtube Pages - control of display sequence?

[Nicholas English]

Hi there Roger,
In the Studio mode (https://studio.youtube.com/) you can add your selected
videos to a new/existing playlist
Once that's done on the *Details* page you can select the 'Default video
order' sounds like what you want is "manually sorted in YouTube" which
sounds great  but comes with a gotcha, of course its google - every good
click deserves another ...
Save your changes, go to the 'Videos' page in your custom playlist and ...
wait for it ... go to the Edit in YouTube link in the top right corner,
tada! you can now drag the vids in your playlist  ino the order you wish.
All the best

Nicholas English
