I love that in iOS 26 you can sort by slow mo, screenshots, videos etc now in Apple Photos, although I hate most other aspects of photos since the 18 & 26 updated. But a much needed feature request would be to also add the ability to sort by file size / size of video / duration of video. This will allow users to quickly free up space and get rid of some large files they no longer need.
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26
I'm not sure there was a question, but many of us use the trusted 3rd party app PowerPhotos ($40,) which offers many enhancements to Photos, to get list views of albums that can be sorted by file size. Really, I'm not sure that Photos is the very best app for videos. The focus is more toward photographs.
If you want to let Apple know of features you'd like, this isn't the place for that. You should go here:

We are just other users here, trying to help each other use what Apple supplies us. We can discuss it, but none of us can change it.
If you are intending to make a suggestion or request that Apple change Photos to add this feature, you should use their designated pathway for such matters: Feedback - Photos - Apple
Don't expect any direct response, but we have been told that Apple has people assigned to read input through that portal and forward the information to Apple decision makers.
As Richard said with PowerPhotos you can show any album (in this case it's the Kind ➙ Video) and sort by any of the columns (in this case it's Size).
There is no duration metadata but you can estimate the longer by the file size.
That has nothing to do with the capabilities of iOS 26 on an iPhone. You 100% cannot sort photos / videos on an iPhone by file size or duration.
You're right. I saw iOS and converted it to macOS. Sorry about that.
