Adds a Filter button to the playback control bar on channel stream tabs (alongside Background / Play All / Popup). Tapping it reveals a panel with the following controls: - Sort by upload date, view count, or name (ascending/descending) - Filter by age: predefined periods (1 day – 5 years) or custom input accepting natural language such as "3 months" or "2w" - Filter by title with wildcard support (prefix, suffix, infix via *) - Filter by minimum view count: presets (1K – 100M) or custom entry All channel pages are fetched in the background once the filter panel is opened. Results update progressively as pages arrive and the full list is cached in memory for the session. The implementation is entirely client-side and requires no extractor changes, making it service-agnostic (YouTube, PeerTube, SoundCloud, etc.).

Adds sort and filter controls to the Videos tab of channel pages. A Filter button appears in the existing playback control bar (alongside Background / Play All / Popup). Tapping it reveals a panel with:
All pages are fetched in the background once the filter panel is opened. Results update progressively as pages arrive and the full list is cached in memory for the session. Sorting and filtering apply immediately as the user changes controls: no need to wait for all pages to load.
Why client-side rather than server-side
Issue #7729 has been open since 2022 and labelled requires extractor change because the assumed approach was requesting sorted results from YouTube's API. This implementation takes a different approach: all videos are fetched and sorted/filtered locally. This means:

Bear in mind that this channel has over 3700 videos, which is a lot. Most channels with a few hundred videos work instantenously.
