Sort Videos - a must (by Icarus)

So far I was unable to find any way to control the order my videos appear on my page, or on my group's page.
I see the newest is first.

I think an ability to sort the videos is a must - either in the My Videos page, or even better, on any page that I have control over - using drag and drop.

I am publishing tutorials which are a part of a series, and should be watched oldest to newest - the default ordering is not good imo.

Icarus, I totally agree. We have a new interface for this already designed. It looks like this

What do you think?

Thanks for showing the design.
As I can understand from it, it looks like you are allowing me to sort the VIEW of "Your Videos" page, rather than sort the videos so that other people will see them sorted like this as well.

What is your intention in this design?

So, if your intentions are that anything I set here, is also seen by the users, than it is ok.
I like the idea that videos can be "bubbled up" automatically, if they are popular, or by other criteria.

I am guessing that at one point, you might want to add the ability to let users sort manually (drag and drop, or "Move Up"/"Move Down" - but it can probably wait for future releases.

I'll chime in here too and say that I really really need this. I uploaded a whole bunch of videos as I'm fleeing the low-quality of YouTube and now they're in a basically random order. Do you need any testers for sorting/re-ordering? :-)

Any update on the new interface? My mother-in-law is complaining about the order of my videos. :-D
