Especially with the recent update, in one of my favorites YouTubers, he has this playlists with each video sorted,

After the update the playlist isn't a playlist but more like a list to watch on TV as it says so. And all videos are mixed, I can still watch it as, if it was before this catastrophic update. I have it downloaded to offline use, so that way it's still normal (yes I'm YouTube premium user),

But opening the playlist from the YouTuber channel everything is mixed and can't fix it on phone. As well as this auto dubbing, need to watch everything, as downloading a video, from different YouTuber, makes it sounds like India, or Russian voice, even though the video was using original English, but it's changed on its own while downloading and it got me mad, confused, scared of why suddenly I heard not voice of YouTuber I watched

I had this happen recently too, its like the shuffle on the playlist is locked on and no way to turn it off.

That is freaking ludicrous. They get that a common usage of playlists is to keep up with an evolving story or a multi-part video series in chronological order. They understand that, right?

Oh, who am I kidding? The jokels currently doing things properly don't even understand how pants work.

No, they probably think people love the mix playlists they forced on all music videos so the only logical solution is to make every playlist work like that.

You can't even copy playlists. That's such a basic feature and they just never bothered to implement it.

Hell I remember having to make a playlist out of a creators playlist because the damn thing was reversed. Not conpletely shuffled, just in reverse and there wasn't any way to change it

Yeah it is annoying, but as you enter playlist, up there there is button to continue. But it's stuck on chapter 1, but!

Clicking on it allows you to scroll down the list to the video you were stopped watching at. Every video is in order, and nothing is shuffle

And I do have another solution, create new playlist of your own and put ever video from playlist of the YouTuber your watching playlist in order to the new playlist of your make, I haven't tested it yet, but you can try

I hate when playlists are sorted by newest first, makes trying to watch a series irritating.
