Passing an ordered playlist to mpv

Yazi
    Version: 25.5.31

Describe the question

I want mpv to be able to inherit yazi's sorted file order. While mpv exposes some playlist sorting options, they don't cover every yazi's sorting method, thus passing a generated playlist seems like the easiest option. Creating something more generic, like passing files directly might also be an option. Such a plugin would cover more usecases. Has anyone tried writing something similar?

Anything else?

C-a selects all and hitting Enter to open in mpv seems to work fine for me, here's my config:

Note that, the release version of Yazi has a bug that causes loss of the order of opened files, which is fixed in #2931, but hasn't been released yet, so you may want to try the latest nightly to see if things change
