Twitch - Force sort Viewers High to Low

Userscript for browsers that automatically sets the Twitch directory sort option to “Viewers (High to Low)”.
Works on /directory, /directory/all, and other Twitch pages with the same sort dropdown.

💥 New: This userscript is also available as part of Twitch Enhancer, a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that combines it with other Twitch quality-of-life improvements.

✨ Features

• Forces sorting by Viewers (High to Low) on Twitch directory pages.
• Works across SPA navigations (React router) and on initial load.
• Works with all languages.
• Two configurable run policies:
  • perTab — applies once per URL within the current tab. If you manually change the sort option, the script won’t override it again (even after F5).
  • perLoad — applies once per URL on each page load. Refreshing with F5 will re-apply the sort.

🔧 Configuration

Open the script in your userscript manager and change the value of:

const RUN_POLICY = 'perTab';

perTab — recommended for users who want to change sorting manually without interference.

perLoad — recommended for users who always want sorting reset on refresh.
