youtubeyoutube-playlist
Here's a random YouTube video list sorted in chronological order:
https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile/videos?sort=da&flow=list&view=0
If you click on the PLAY ALL button, however, the order of the playback does not match the chronological ordering of the original list.
Is there a way to play the list back in chronological order?
Channels on YouTube have RSS feeds, so subscribe to all of your favourite channels' RSS feeds in Google Reader (or another online feed reader).
You can just hover over the video and an icon like this...
The top one, the clock, will add it to your "watch later" list
and the one beneath it with the three lines and arrow adds the video to your queue
You can do this directly from the feed while looking at YouTube videos when you hover over the video. This works int he new YouTube layout so if you are still using the old YouTube layout I'm not sure how that would work.
There is also three dots usually next to a video anywhere on YouTube and when you press it this pops up...
(Add to queue, Save to Watch later, Save to playlist, and Report)
You can press any of the three and it will add the video to a playlist

it looks like YouTube doesn't support it, but it can be done:
first, you need to get all IDs from that sorted range (I copy/pasted source code into google spreadsheet and filtered it out)
then just copy this list and paste it into http://roll.io/
press Run my list! button and you are good to watch
and as for downloading: https://www.youtube.net/channel.php?id

DOWNLOAD IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:
youtube-dl.exe -o %(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s -a feed.txtthis will download all video files in chronological order in format
00001-Title.mp4etc. here are supported options: https://pastebin.com/raw/XGh82hg8 and there are more format options: https://pastebin.com/raw/fgqQbpRC also its possible to feed your desktop media player directly like:youtube-dl.exe -o - -a feed.txt | PotPlayerMini64.exe -and also there is a possibility to download all IDs with:
youtube-dl.exe --get-id https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile/ > t.txtand ditch all that ID scraping from source code (note that then you need to open t.txt file with Word/Wordpad, because notepad will show it format-less in one string)
