Disappointed to hear that TikTok doesn’t offer an option to sort videos from a specific creator by most viewed, as this is a complex and costly feature in programming that is rarely offered by apps like TikTok.
Fortunately, there are alternative methods to sort videos on TikTok using other apps or tools. This article will guide you through the process of sorting videos on TikTok by most viewed, starting with the simplest approach.
Finding the Pinned Videos
Creators often pin their most popular videos at the top of their page on TikTok. These videos are typically the ones for which they are recognized and usually have the highest number of views.
The easiest way to identify the most viewed videos is by checking the first videos that appear when you visit someone’s account, as TikTok allows users to pin up to three videos only. There may be other videos with equally or even more views than the pinned ones.
Utilizing the “Sort For TikTok” Chrome Extension
A more advanced method for sorting TikTok videos by most viewed is by using the “Sort For TikTok” Chrome extension. This extension is free to use and operates based on donations without requiring any permissions.
Here are the steps to download and install the “Sort For TikTok” Chrome extension on your PC, laptop, or Mac.
- Launch the Chrome browser on your PC, laptop, or Mac.
- Ensure you are logged into your Google account to download the extension.
- Sign in to your Google account and search for “Sort For TikTok” in Google’s search bar.
- The first search result will likely be the link to the Chrome Store page for the extension, where you can find more details about it.
- Click on “Add to Chrome” and wait for the extension to download. You will receive a notification once the extension has been successfully installed.
- Open a new tab in your browser and navigate to TikTok.
Note: For added security, it is recommended not to be logged into your TikTok account while using “Sort For TikTok” to sort others’ videos by most viewed, even though the extension does not read, collect, or share user information.
In order to sort TikTok videos by most viewed, locate the account with the desired videos and visit their profile containing all the listed videos. Now, you need to access the puzzle piece icon situated in the top right corner of your browser and identify the “Sort For TikTok” extension. Subsequently, tap on the extension and initiate the sorting process by selecting “Start” and allowing the extension a few moments to complete the sorting. As a result, you will now have the TikTok videos arranged from most viewed to least viewed for your perusal. Remember, this extension is specifically designed for TikTok and does not support sorting videos on other platforms or based on criteria like likes or shares. Utilizing the Retroplay app presents an alternative method for sorting TikTok videos by most viewed; however, the app limits the display to the top 10 most viewed videos. This constraint stems from the app’s original purpose of creating collages featuring a creator’s most popular videos. Nevertheless, you can still sort a minimum of 10 videos from the TikTok creator you admire. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Visit Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for iPhones. 2. Enter “retroplay” in the search field. 3. Locate and select the app identified by a pink movie ticket icon. Ensure that this is the desired app by reviewing the description and ratings.To install the app after reading its description, simply click on “Install.” Once you’ve waited for a few moments, the app will be successfully installed on your device. Next, proceed to TikTok. If you haven’t installed the app yet, make sure to do so by returning to Google Play/the App Store. Locate the TikTok account containing the videos you wish to sort by most views. To accomplish this, click on the magnifying glass icon situated in the top right corner. After copying the creator’s username, exit TikTok. Access the Retroplay app and tap on the central button to “Create a new collage.” Paste the previously copied username, click on “Next,” and you’ll see a list of the top 10 most viewed TikTok videos from that user. Additionally, you can further use the app to create a collage of the videos. If you’re curious about the number of views on your own videos, you can utilize the TikTok Analytics tool. To achieve this, you must convert your personal account into a professional one. Thankfully, this upgrade is complimentary and open to all TikTok users. Here’s a simple guide on how to do it: Launch the TikTok app. Go to the profile icon located in the bottom right corner. Click on the three horizontal lines positioned in the top right corner. Choose “Settings & Privacy” from the displayed pop-up menu.Within the step5, click on “Account.” In step6, choose “Switch to Business Account.” For step7, tap “Next” four times while you read about everything a professional account offers. During step8, choose a category that best describes your content; this step is less important, but it might help the TikTok algorithm direct your videos to specific consumers. As for step9, in the following step, you have the option to add your email address; you can skip this if you prefer not to do so. Lastly, in step10, you will have the chance to create a new video immediately, but you can also skip this step by selecting “Maybe later.”- Upon seeing the message “You’re all set” on the screen, proceed by clicking the “X” button located in the top left corner.
Upon successfully converting your account to a professional one, access the Analytics tool to analyze your video performance ranking from most viewed to least viewed. These are the steps to follow:
- Begin by launching TikTok.
- Access your profile by tapping on the profile icon found in the bottom right corner.
- Proceed by selecting the three vertical lines situated at the top right corner.
- To access the “Business suite” option, simply tap on it from the pop-up menu.
- By clicking on “Analytics,” you can view an overview of your video views, top videos, and more.
- Select “Video” from the top options menu to proceed.
- View your videos sorted by the most recent and check the views, likes, and comments for each.
- To adjust the default sorting, tap on “Filter” located in the corner on the right side of the screen.
- Switch from “Most recent” to “Most number of video views” for a different sorting perspective.
Now, your videos are arranged from the highest to lowest views.
If you prefer to keep your account personal, you can still review the overall viewership data of your videos using the Creator tools section. Assess the “Key metrics” including video views, likes, profile visits, comments, shares, and unique viewers within the last seven days, 28 days, or 60 days, or customize the timeframe.
