# Pinterest Sort Extension — What It Does & Browser Support
{% hint style="success" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}
> 🎉 **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
| What you want to do | Can you do it on 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.
With the extension running, every pin carries its real engagement numbers

## 🛠️ 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](/faqs/how-to-temporarily-disable-sortpin.com-extension-info.md).
### "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](/faqs/if-sortpin-is-not-working-despite-being-installed-what-should-i-do.md).
### "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](/faqs/how-to-clear-cache-to-speed-up-the-sortpin.com-extension.md).
### "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](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sortpin-com-web-extension/). 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](/getting-started/manage-license-and-devices/how-to-activate-license.md).
**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](/faqs/how-to-grow-a-pinterest-account-without-getting-locked.md).
**Q: Does it work on Mac?** A: Yes — on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, or Firefox on macOS. See [Download Pinterest on Mac](/download-guides-by-device/download-pinterest-on-mac.md).
**Q: Can I use it on my phone?** A: No — mobile browsers don't support extensions. Use the [Telegram bot](/features/telegram-bot-pinterest-images-video-and-story-downloader.md) 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](/getting-started/manage-license-and-devices/unlink-or-deactivate-device.md).
