How to Sort TikTok Videos by Views in Chrome (Step-by-Step)

TikTok's default feed order is built for scrolling—not for comparing which videos actually won on views, likes, or recency. If you audit creators, study hooks, or shortlist clips to repurpose, you need a TikTok sorter that works on the grid you already opened in the browser.

This guide shows how to sort TikTok videos by views (and other metrics) in desktop Chrome with Sort Feed, plus when to pair sorting with export and download workflows.

Why sort TikTok by views instead of scrolling?

Scrolling hides patterns. When you sort by views or likes on a visible grid, you can:

• Spot outliers on a profile or hashtag page in seconds
• Compare hooks on top performers without opening each video
• Build a shortlist before exporting URLs and metrics to a spreadsheet
• Download winning clips after you rank them—same Chrome session

That is the core job of a TikTok video sorter: turn a messy grid into a ranked list you can act on.

What you need before you start

• Desktop Google Chrome (Sort Feed does not run inside the TikTok mobile app)
• A supported TikTok page with a post grid (profile, search results, etc.)
• The Sort Feed Chrome extension installed from the Chrome Web Store

For a dedicated walkthrough of TikTok-only use cases, see our TikTok feed sorter guide.

Step 1 — Install Sort Feed for TikTok and Instagram

1. Open the Sort Feed install page or the Chrome Web Store listing linked from sortfeed.io.
2. Click Add to Chrome and pin the extension to your toolbar.
3. Confirm the extension is enabled for tiktok.com.

Sort Feed also supports Instagram grids on the same extension—useful if you compare Reels performance across platforms.

Step 2 — Open a TikTok grid you want to analyze

Navigate to the TikTok surface you care about:

• A creator profile with multiple videos
• Search or discovery results for a keyword or sound
• Any supported page that shows a video grid in Chrome

Let the grid load enough posts for a fair comparison. Sort Feed sorts visible items on the page—load more if you need a deeper sample.

Step 3 — Sort TikTok videos by views (or likes / date)

1. Click the Sort Feed icon in Chrome.
2. Choose your sort metric—views, likes, comments, or date/recency depending on what the page exposes.
3. Apply the sort and scan the reordered grid.

You should see high-view videos rise to the top without opening each tile. Switch metrics if views are missing on a specific layout; likes or engagement proxies still surface winners.

Step 4 — Export or download shortlisted videos

After sorting:

• Export structured rows (URLs, captions, metrics) for reporting or viral research
• Download shortlisted videos from supported TikTok pages when you want local copies

Bulk export fits audits and competitive reviews—details on our home page and get started guide.

TikTok sorter vs. TikTok analytics tools

Use Sort Feed when you already have a grid open and need sort for TikTok research in minutes—not another login-only dashboard.

Tips for better TikTok sorting workflows

• Load more posts before sorting so your sample size matches the question you are answering.
• Sort by likes when views are hidden but engagement signals still rank winners.
• Pair with Instagram sorting when you compare Reels vs. TikTok hooks for the same creator—Instagram feed sorter uses the same extension.
• Document findings with export instead of screenshots—cleaner for clients and teammates.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Expecting server-side access to private analytics Sort Feed does not provide—work with visible grid data only.
• Sorting before the grid finishes loading—partial lists skew rankings.
• Using mobile TikTok—install and run Sort Feed on desktop Chrome only.
