This is not a Roku issue. Roku does not write the app. YouTube/Google made the change, and it's not just Roku. I have a Fire TV and Google TV, and they all changed at the same time. They are now in some order based on how often you watch them. I don't know if there is any way to force it back to alphabetical on a TV. Some Google searching finds many posts from other angry TV users...
I’ve checked and YouTube subscriptions on iOS and PC are in alphabetical order. The order of YouTube subscriptions on Roku is the issue.
The out-of-order list only occurs on our Roku box.
I just finished running YouTube on my mobile and Roku box - only the Roku box fails to keep subs in alphabetical order. They (Roku) are running an algorithm that changes order based on at least two parameters: number times viewed, and last viewed.
if anyone at Roku is checking, this disorder needs to be fixed ASAP…please!
