Key takeaways

  • Views/day sort is ideal after a recency filter.
  • Great follow-up to the viral-style filter recipe.

How to Sort YouTube Results by Views Per Day

Quick answer: Filter, open results, Sort → Views per day.

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

No native views/day sort on YouTube 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).

Choose Views per day in the sort dropdown.


Example workflow

After filtering meal prep to last 14 days, views/day sort shows which recipes are accelerating now.


Tips and common mistakes

Enrichment wait

Sort may refresh when likes/views finish loading.


FAQ

Do I need to filter first?

Recommended—you sort only matching videos.


YouTube Filter Pro is free to install; some sorts and metrics need Pro (called out above when relevant). More guides: complete filter hub, filter youtube by views per day, find youtube videos about to go viral.
