I believe this is due to a fundamental change in the way that YouTube channel pages work. Looking at YouTube, the sort options they now offer aren't exactly the same as they were before:

It also looks like sorting is now handled with continuations which is different than it was before. yt-channel-info will need to be patched to fix this.

Could this issue possibly be expanded to cover shorts and livestreams being sorted differently? Or should that be put into its own issue? Channel shorts and livestreams (past and ongoing) no longer appear on the subscription feed, nor the channel view.

I just thought they fit in a similar enough area in terms of what caused it and how it could be fixed. I also searched and this is the closest issue I could find relating to. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Those are different issues. There is already a fix for shorts in yt-channel-info, but it hasn't made its way into FreeTube yet. Live videos not appearing on channel pages is a similar problem, but it will require its own solution.
