🔍Pinterest Sort Extension — What It Does & Browser Support
Looking for a Pinterest sort extension? What SortPin does, which browsers are supported, and what to use if you're on Firefox or Safari.
Pinterest doesn't let you sort pins. No "sort by most saved", no "newest first", no way to see which pins are actually performing. That gap is exactly what a Pinterest sort extension fills — and it's the core of what SortPin does.
🎉 Trusted by 40,000+ Pinterest users worldwide — creators, marketers, and e-commerce sellers who need more than an endless feed.
🎯 The Problem With Native Pinterest
Sort search results by saves
❌ No
See a pin's real save count
❌ Hidden
Sort a board by date added
❌ No
Compare 50 pins side by side
❌ No
Export pin data to a spreadsheet
❌ No
Filter out low-performing pins
❌ No
Pinterest optimises for browsing, not analysis. If you're doing research — competitor study, niche validation, trend spotting — you need to impose your own order on the feed.

🛠️ Troubleshooting
"I installed it but don't see the icon"
Click the 🧩 puzzle icon in your toolbar and pin SortPin. See How to pin the extension.
"The extension is installed but shows no data"
Open the SortPin panel, click the 🏠 home icon, and make sure the toggle is on — then refresh Pinterest. Full steps: SortPin not working.
"It's slow after a lot of scanning"
Collected data is stored locally, so large archives slow it down. Clear it periodically: How to clear cache.
"Edge won't install it"
Edge → Settings → Extensions → enable Allow extensions from other stores, then retry the Chrome Web Store link.
❓ FAQs
Q: Does the Pinterest sort extension work on Firefox? A: Yes. Install the SortPin.com Web Extension from Firefox Add-ons. There's a separate Chrome Web Store build for Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera.
Q: Is the Pinterest sort extension free? A: Yes, there's a free tier. Advanced capabilities are covered by a license — see How to activate your license.
Q: Can Pinterest sort pins by most saved natively? A: No. Pinterest offers no user-facing sort control for saves, date, or engagement. That's the specific gap SortPin fills.
Q: Is a Pinterest sort extension safe to install? A: SortPin is verified on the Chrome Web Store. As a general rule, avoid unlisted "Pinterest helper" extensions installed from random websites — they often request far broader permissions than they need.
Q: Will using a sort extension get my Pinterest account banned? A: SortPin reads data already rendered on the pages you visit. The real ban risk comes from acting too fast — see How to grow Pinterest without getting locked.
Q: Does it work on Mac? A: Yes — on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, or Firefox on macOS. See Download Pinterest on Mac.
Q: Can I use it on my phone? A: No — mobile browsers don't support extensions. Use the Telegram bot on mobile instead.
Q: How many devices can one license cover? A: Five devices or Chrome profiles per license. See Unlink or deactivate a device.
