Pinterest is a save-driven platform, yet default browse order rarely answers which pins actually earned saves, likes, or momentum. A Pinterest pin sorter in Chrome lets you rank visible pins so research takes minutes, not hours of scrolling.

The workflow is simple: open a supported Pinterest grid, sort by saves, likes, or date with the Pinterest Sort Extension, then shortlist pins that deserve a creative brief.

Why sort pins by saves (not just scroll)?

Saves signal intent. For marketers and creators, ranking by saves helps you:

  • Find high-performing creative angles in a niche
  • Compare pins on a board or search result page objectively
  • Shortlist ideas before briefing designers
  • Filter noisy grids down to pins worth studying

That is the job of a pinterest sort extension: reorder what you already loaded, using metrics on the page.

What to have ready

  • Desktop Google Chrome
  • The Pinterest Sort Extension (install link on Pinterest feed sorter)
  • A supported pinterest.com page with a pin grid

TikTok and Instagram sorting use the main Sort Feed extension; Pinterest has its own listing. Both are documented on sortfeed.io.

Install the Pinterest Sort Extension

  1. Open Pinterest pin sorter.
  2. Follow the Chrome Web Store install button for the Pinterest Sort Extension.
  3. Pin the extension and allow it on pinterest.com.

For platform overview across TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest, see Sort Feed home.

Sort Pinterest pins by saves, likes, or date

  1. Navigate to a supported Pinterest surface (search, board, profile; see FAQs on the landing page).
  2. Let pins load; scroll to load more if your research needs a larger sample.
  3. Open the Pinterest Sort Extension.
  4. Select saves, likes, or date depending on your question.
  5. Apply the sort and review the reordered grid.

When save counts are visible, save-based sorting surfaces pins worth reverse-engineering first.

Pinterest research workflow (simple)

  1. Search a keyword or open a competitor board
  2. Load enough pins for a representative sample
  3. Sort by saves or likes
  4. Shortlist winners for creative briefs
  5. Review or document findings for your team

Pair with Instagram sorting or TikTok sorting when you compare visual trends across platforms.
