Streams aren't sorted by viewers - Seems random

Bug report

• [x ] I understand the difference between Streamlink and Streamlink Twitch GUI.
• [x ] This is a bug report and I have read the contribution guidelines.

Environment details

Operating system and version:
Windows 10 1903

Streamlink Twitch GUI version:
1.9.0

Streamlink version:
1.3.0

Configuration details:
No custom parameters or anything. Pretty much all default settings.

Description

When I click Followed Streams, the order of viewers is random instead of high to low. This just started today. First stream has 826 viewers, second has 1684, third has 32.2k, 4th has 98, and 5th has 696 etc…

Expected / Actual behavior

Streams should be listed high to low.

Reproduction steps

Not really sure how to reproduce. Yesterday it was fine, today it was messed up. I didn’t change anything, just shutdown the PC overnight.

Log output

Let me know if you need a log.

It’s an issue on Twitch’s end which they have to fix. I’ve already opened a thread on Twitch’s dev forums here to let them know: https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/kraken-streams-followed-not-ordered-by-viewers/23772

I’ve pushed the sorted-followed-streams branch to the repo. This will get merged into master if the API won’t have been fixed in the next couple of days or if they still haven’t reponded by then. It’s currently weekend, so I don’t expect them to do any bugfixing right now. Should the API be fixed once this was merged and published in a new release, then it should be fine too, as it won’t make a difference then other than being an inefficient implementation.

If one is terribly annoyed by the unsorted followed streams list, they can build the app themselves now from the sorted-followed-streams branch. Just follow the build guide or run the following commands if you already got Git, NodeJS and Yarn installed. https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#developing-and-building

git clone https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui.git
cd streamlink-twitch-gui

git fetch origin
git checkout origin/sorted-followed-streams

yarn global add grunt-cli
yarn install --pure-lockfile

grunt release
# see built app in ./build/releases/
