How to Sort YouTube Results by How Many Videos a Channel Has

Quick answer: Sort → Channel videos (total videos on the channel) after filtering.

I built YouTube Filter Pro because YouTube search never gave me the combo of filters I wanted in one place.


What YouTube lets you do today

YouTube does not offer this sort on search.


How to do it with YouTube Filter Pro

  1. Run a normal YouTube search for your topic.
  2. Click Filter next to the search bar (YouTube Filter Pro).
  3. Set the filters described below in the modal (Video or Channel tabs).
  4. Click Search in the footer and open View Results when the panel appears.
  5. Leave the tab open while the extension scans more results (complex filters can take up to a minute).

Use Channel videos in the sort list.


Example workflow

Sort ascending on sourdough search to find first-time bakers with few uploads.


Tips and common mistakes

New channel filter

Also set channel video max in filters for hard caps.


FAQ

Is this the same as subscriber sort?

No—video count tracks catalog size, not audience size.


YouTube Filter Pro is free to install; some sorts and metrics need Pro (called out above when relevant). More guides: complete filter hub, find new youtube channels low video count, sort youtube results by subscribers.
