How to reverse the order of your saved TikToks
How do I reverse the order of my saved TikToks?
TikTok gives you no reverse or sort control, so the order has to be flipped outside the app. Request your data export (Settings and privacy → Account → Download your data, JSON), then open it in ScrollBack: it reads the save date on every entry and reverses the list so your earliest saves come first. The direction is a toggle, so you can flip back to newest-first in one tap.

- Choose the JSON format and include Likes & FavoritesUnder Select data, keep Likes & Favorites (or All data) ticked, then under File format pick JSON rather than TXT. JSON is the one that carries the exact date you saved each video.

- Import the ZIP into ScrollBackOpen scroll-back.com in your browser, drop the ZIP straight in — no unzipping needed. It is read on your own device and your saved videos appear as a grid, oldest first.
Why the app can't do it
Your saved videos are delivered as an infinite feed. The app requests a page of recent items, then another page as you scroll — it never holds the whole list, so there is nothing to reverse client-side. That's a design decision rather than an oversight, and it's why no in-app setting has ever appeared for it.
Once you have the full list locally, reversing is trivial. The export is what gives you the full list.
Reversing versus jumping to the end
People often try to reach the end of the feed by scrolling fast. Even when it works, the position is not saved: closing the tab, backgrounding the app or pulling to refresh sends you back to the top.
A reversed list is stable. Your oldest save stays at position one every time you open it, so you can leave and come back without losing your place.
Combining reverse with a month filter
Reversing gets you to the beginning of your history; the month filter gets you to the middle of it. Together they cover every 'I saved that around then' case: flip to oldest-first for the earliest saves, or select a month for anything in between.
Frequently asked questions
Can I reverse liked videos too?
Yes — the export includes your like list alongside your saves, and both can be shown oldest-first.
Does reversing change the order inside TikTok?
No. TikTok stays exactly as it was; the reversed view lives in ScrollBack.
Do I need to re-import to switch direction?
No, the sort is a toggle on the imported library.
