Add ability to sort by original publication date

[Mike35538]

Describe the problem to be solved

A lot of channels have a huge amount of videos uploaded in one day. They all have the same published on date but often users set the Original publication date to reflect when they first created the video or made it public on other video platforms etc. So it can be difficult to have an idea of the chronological order of the videos based on sorting by Recently Added.

Describe the solution you would like:

On the channel page, eg., https://framatube.org/c/joinpeertube/videos
Add to the sort by drop down menu the option: Sort by "Original Publication Date"
And then it would sort newest to the top and oldest to the bottom based on video Original Publication Date. If a video doesn't have an Original Publication Date filled in then it would use the published on date.

Thanks!

I'd like to work on this one; adding "Original Publication Date" option to the sort dropdown in video-filters and handling sorting by OriginallyPublishedAt.

I've created a plugin to sort by originallyPublishedAt where publishedAt is used; https://framagit.org/kontrollanten/peertube-plugin-sort-originally-published-at

Thanks everyone!

Thanks for this great plugin. It works like a charme on many pages and replaces the "Last added" with "Originally published".

But: On channels it uses still the last-added-date, and not the originally-published-date. I have this bug e.g. here with a videolog that should be sorted in the right way using the originally-published-date: https://tube.g4rf.net/c/smorgasbord/

Is this a bug or do I miss something?

Thanks in advance,
Jan
