How to sort TikTok videos by date, views, and likes — step-by-step

TikTok's profile page sort order is controlled by the platform, not the user. When you visit any TikTok profile — including your own — videos are displayed in a fixed order that mixes recency with algorithm-boosted content. There is no native button on TikTok to sort videos by oldest first, by most viewed, or by most liked.

TikTok's video order problem has three specific consequences. First, finding the original date of a video requires opening each post individually. Second, finding the most viewed TikToks on any account means scrolling through all videos and noting counts manually. Third, organizing your own liked videos, saved videos, or bookmarks by date or engagement is not possible inside TikTok's native app or desktop site.

TikTok video sort by date is the most requested sorting function — and the one the platform provides no native option for. FeedSortr's date sort places every video in true chronological or reverse-chronological order on any TikTok profile page.

Sort TikTok from oldest to newest — see the first videos ever posted

TikTok oldest-to-newest sort order is selected using the Oldest option in FeedSortr's sort grid. When you click "Fetch & Sort Posts" with Oldest selected, FeedSortr fetches all available videos and places the earliest-published video in position #1, with every subsequent video ordered chronologically up to the most recent post.

The original date of a video is shown in the data overlay on each post — including the exact publish time (hour:minute:second). This is the only way to find the original date of a TikTok video across an entire profile without opening each post individually.

Sort TikTok from newest to oldest — most recent videos first

TikTok newest-to-oldest order is selected using Newest in the FeedSortr sort grid. This places the most recently published TikTok video at position #1 — equivalent to watching a TikTok profile in reverse-chronological order, which the platform does not offer natively on profile pages.

This is useful for auditing a competitor's recent content output, checking what an account has published in the last 30 or 60 days, or reviewing a brand's most recent activity without scrolling through years of older content.

Filter TikTok videos by a custom date range

FeedSortr's custom date range filter restricts the sort to videos published within any specific time window. To filter by date, open the FeedSortr popup, click the Date Range dropdown, select Custom range..., and use the calendar picker to set your From and To dates.

After setting the date range, choose any sort metric — Newest, Oldest, Views, Likes — and click Fetch & Sort Posts. FeedSortr fetches only the videos published within your selected window and sorts them by your chosen metric.

TikTok views sort is the most valuable function for content research. View count on TikTok measures total video plays — the primary reach metric on the platform. A TikTok video's view count reflects how widely it was distributed by the algorithm beyond the creator's existing followers, making it the clearest signal of what content breaks through.

To sort TikTok videos by views, open FeedSortr on any TikTok profile, select Views in the sort grid, and click Fetch & Sort Posts. FeedSortr ranks all fetched videos highest-to-lowest by total view count. The most viewed TikTok on the profile appears at position #1 with its complete metrics visible in the data overlay.

Find the most viewed TikToks on any account in seconds

TikTok most viewed videos on any account are accessible through FeedSortr's Views sort on any public profile. For a profile like @khaby.lame (161.4M followers, 2.6B total likes), sorting by views immediately surfaces which 23-second video format drove his highest reach — information that would take hours to find manually by scrolling and comparing view counts individually.

Sort TikTok search results by views

FeedSortr's TikTok sort by views also works on TikTok search result pages. When you search for any keyword on TikTok and the results page loads, FeedSortr can fetch the visible videos and sort them by views — showing which videos in that search result have the highest total play count. This is useful for identifying the most watched content around any specific topic or niche.

TikTok sort by likes, comments, and engagement rate gives different insights than sorting by views. Views measure reach. Likes measure active approval. Comments measure conversation. Engagement rate measures how effectively a video converted viewers into engagers.

Sort TikTok by likes — most liked videos first

TikTok likes sort is selected using Likes in the FeedSortr sort grid — the first option in the grid and the default selection when the popup opens. When you sort by likes, FeedSortr ranks every video on the profile by total like count, highest first.

You can also sort TikTok likes oldest to newest using the following workflow: select Oldest as the sort metric, then switch to the Table view after sorting to see likes chronologically alongside date. This reveals how a creator's like counts have grown or declined over their publishing history.

Sort TikTok by comments — most commented videos first

TikTok comments sort surfaces videos that generated the most conversation. Select Comments in FeedSortr's sort grid to rank all profile videos by total comment count. A video with 50K comments on a 500K-follower account tells a different story than a video with 500K views but 200 comments — comments indicate the content triggered a genuine response.

You can also sort TikTok comments by newest or sort by date using the Newest or Oldest sort options after switching to Table view, which shows the comment count column alongside the date column for each video.

Sort TikTok by engagement rate — normalized performance

TikTok engagement rate is calculated by FeedSortr as total engagement (likes + comments) divided by followers, divided by post count — displayed as a percentage. This metric normalizes performance relative to audience size, making it the most useful for comparing posts across accounts of different sizes.

Select Eng. Rate to rank every video on the profile by its engagement rate. In the table view for @arozz223, the top-ranked video by engagement rate has a 19518.42% rate — meaning its engagement was 195 times the account's follower-normalized baseline. This kind of outlier immediately identifies which video topics and formats genuinely resonate on a specific account.

Sort TikTok videos by duration — shortest or longest first

TikTok video sort by duration is available through the Duration option in FeedSortr. This sorts all videos on any profile by their length in seconds — shortest first or longest first depending on your research need. Sort by duration is useful for understanding whether short-form content (under 15 seconds) or longer videos (60–180 seconds) perform better on a specific account when combined with the engagement data shown in each overlay.

This is the most TikTok-specific section in this guide — covering a set of use cases that have no equivalent on Instagram. TikTok users accumulate personal libraries of content: liked videos, saved videos, bookmarked posts, and favorited videos. None of these personal collections can be sorted natively by TikTok. FeedSortr works on these pages the same way it works on public profiles.

Sort TikTok liked videos by date

TikTok liked videos sort by date is one of the most searched TikTok sorting queries. Your TikTok liked video library shows every video you have ever liked — in the order TikTok added them, not in the order you want. To sort your TikTok liked videos by date:

1. Log into TikTok in Chrome on desktop and go to your profile
2. Click the Liked tab on your profile page
3. Open the FeedSortr popup and select Oldest or Newest
4. Click Fetch & Sort Posts

FeedSortr reorders your liked videos chronologically — putting the first video you ever liked at position #1 (Oldest), or your most recently liked video first (Newest). The publish date and exact time for each liked video appears in the data overlay.

Sort TikTok saved videos and bookmarks

TikTok saved videos and bookmarks are accessible through your TikTok profile's Favorites section in Chrome. Navigate to your saved videos or bookmarks tab in TikTok on desktop, open the FeedSortr popup, choose your sort metric, and click Fetch & Sort Posts. FeedSortr sorts the visible saved content by your selected metric — by date added, by view count, or by any other available metric.

Sort TikTok favorites by oldest or by date

TikTok favorites sort by oldest is useful when you have accumulated a large favorites collection and want to find content you saved a long time ago. Navigate to your TikTok Favorites tab in Chrome, open FeedSortr, select Oldest, and click Fetch & Sort Posts. Your oldest favorited videos appear first, making it easy to retrieve content you saved months or years ago without infinite scrolling.

After FeedSortr sorts a TikTok profile, it has access to every video's complete metrics — dates, views, likes, comments, shares, engagement rates, and durations. Instead of discarding this data after sorting, FeedSortr generates a full analytics report automatically. Click the Analytics button in the FeedSortr toolbar to open it.

Caption: FeedSortr Analytics Overview for @arozz223 on TikTok. 50 videos generated 1.46 billion total views and 30.6M total likes. Average engagement rate is 1531.98%. Best day to post is Saturday with an average of 1.5M likes. Top 10% of posts outperform average by +384%.

The analytics overview dashboard gives you a complete profile summary. Here is what each metric means for any TikTok account you analyze with FeedSortr:

Smart insights and account health score — Pro Analytics

FeedSortr's Pro Analytics tab generates Smart Insights: auto-computed recommendations based on the sorted post data. For @arozz223's TikTok account, the Smart Insights surface that Saturday posts get +148% more engagement than average, that posting between 12AM and 2AM generates 7.0× more engagement than other time windows, and that the account's current posting frequency is 1.0 posts per week.

Account Health is 70/C — strong engagement rate (25/25) but low posting consistency (10/25) and content variety (10/25).

The Account Health score rates four dimensions of the account's TikTok performance: Posting Consistency (how regularly videos are published), Engagement Rate (how the account's rate compares to benchmarks), Content Variety (diversity of video formats), and Posting Timing (whether videos are published at optimal hours). Each dimension is scored out of 25, and Quick Wins highlight the two most impactful areas to improve.

After sorting a TikTok profile, FeedSortr gives you two ways to act on what you found: download the videos directly or export the complete dataset to a spreadsheet.

Export TikTok data — views, likes, shares, duration — to CSV or Google Sheets

FeedSortr's table view displays every sorted TikTok video as a data row with all metrics as sortable columns. The columns available for TikTok exports are: URL, Date, Type, Likes, Comments, Shares, Views, Engagement, Engagement Rate, Duration, and Caption.

To export TikTok data to Google Sheets, click the Export button in the FeedSortr toolbar after sorting, or click Download All CSV in the table view. The CSV opens directly in Google Sheets, Excel, or any spreadsheet tool. The export includes every metric column from the table view, making it ready for client reporting, content audits, or competitor benchmarking without additional data formatting.

Download TikTok videos directly from Chrome after sorting

FeedSortr's bulk download feature lets you download TikTok videos after sorting. Select the videos you want from the sorted results — using the checkboxes that appear on each post — and click Bulk Download in the toolbar. FeedSortr downloads the selected videos as a ZIP file. You can also hover over any individual TikTok video on any supported page and click the download button that appears, without sorting first.
