The data above is synthetic and does not reflect real-world values. View full dataset
Dataset is not sorted
Open
Why the dataset comes in an unsorted way? I think I'm not the only one who needs the videos sorted by date. I tried this also by adding the dataset sort actor, but it didnt work - maybe because of the date format of youtube scraper...?
how can I sort the dataset for direct URL videos by date? doesn't matter how...
Sort by newest doesn't work by the way...
I would appreciate your help very much, thanks in advance
Hi, thanks for opening this issue!
The data is scraped asynchronously, with multiple requests finishing simultaneously at different times, so by nature the dataset will be unsorted. We should hoverer add in a order field, which would keep track of the items index. We will add that in :)
In the meantime, consider using the Merge, Dedup & Transform Datasets utility Actor, to sort the dataset for you. Input it this sorting code in the postDedupTransformFunction function:
1async (items, { Apify }) => { 2 items.sort((a, b) => { 3 if (a.date < b.date) return -1; 4 if (a.date > b.date) return 1; 5 return 0; 6 }); 7 8 return items; 9};
Also, make sure to set the parallelPushes to 1 to get your dataset sorted :)
I will keep you updated here, thanks!
