What Sortflare does on Facebook

Facebook support is newer than the others, and the panel says so.

  • The Reels feed, a page's Reels and single Reels.
  • Sort by views, likes, comments, date or outlier score. The outlier score is a post's views divided by the median views of that same creator's recent posts. A 6× is a real breakout; a million views on an account that always gets a million is a normal day.
  • Download Reels in the quality Facebook serves, one or many.
  • Transcribe Reels and export the text with the numbers. See transcribing Reels in bulk.

How to see the most viewed Reels on Facebook

Facebook has no "most viewed" option. A page's Reels tab lists them newest first, the Reels feed follows Facebook's recommendations, and neither can be reordered, in the app or on facebook.com. To see a page's most viewed Reels, open its Reels tab on facebook.com, press Alt+S, click Sort and choose Views. The ranked list shows views, likes and comments on every row.

How to find viral Reels on Facebook

The most viewed Reels of a big page are usually just its normal. To find the ones that actually took off, sort by outlier score: each Reel's views against the median of that page's recent Reels. Do it for ten or twenty pages in your niche and the breakouts stand out. The guide to finding viral Reels has the whole routine, and it works the same on Instagram and TikTok.
