Agencies and SMM managers do not need another screenshot folder. They need export TikTok analytics to CSV (and Instagram row data) tied to a defensible sort—not a manual copy-paste marathon.

TikTok and Instagram do not expose one-click CSV export for competitor grids. Sort Feed ranks visible posts in desktop Chrome, lets you review raw rows, then exports selected data for audits and weekly reports.

Install Sort Feed Chrome Extension Free —CSV export included on the free tier.

Review raw TikTok and Instagram rows before CSV export

When CSV export beats screenshots

Use CSV when someone else must trust your numbers:

  • Client content audits with URLs and view counts
  • Weekly competitor snapshots you rerun on the same handle
  • Creative brief appendices listing top posts after a sort pass
  • Before/after campaign reviews comparing two export files by date

Screenshots are fine for Slack. CSV is for deliverables.

What fields can appear in a Sort Feed export?

Availability depends on what TikTok or Instagram shows on the page you browse. Common visible fields include:

  • Post URL
  • Publish date (when shown)
  • Views, likes, comments
  • Shares or bookmarks when available
  • Duration
  • Caption text

Always validate important findings against the live post—platform layouts change.

Sort Instagram Reels before exporting row data to CSV

Step-by-step: export TikTok and Instagram data to CSV

1. Define the audit question

Examples:

  • Top 20 Reels by views on @brand for Q3 reporting
  • TikTok hooks test: highest likes in the last visible 50 posts
  • New launches only —sort by date, then filter mentally before export

Write the question first. It picks your sort metric automatically.

2. Sort visible posts in Chrome

  1. Install Sort Feed
  2. Open the target profile or grid on tiktok.com or instagram.com
  3. Load posts, then sort by views, likes, comments, or date

3. Review raw data rows

Open the raw data table inside Sort Feed. Confirm:

Analytics overview before confirming CSV export rows

  2. Export to CSV (free tier)

Social proof

Sort Feed lists a 4.8/5 rating on the Chrome Web Store (July 2026). Teams use it when they need faster social media audit workflows inside the browser tab they already have open.

Export your next audit from Sort Feed on the Chrome Web Store—sort first, CSV second.
