Is it possible to order posts by date DESC please ? 

register_post_type('Videos', array(
    'labels' => array(
        'name' => _x('Videos', 'post type general name'),
        'singular_name' => _x('Video', 'post type singular name'),
        'add_new' => _x('Ajouter', 'Video'),
        'add_new_item' => __('Ajouter une video'),
        'edit_item' => __('Éditer une video'),
        'new_item' => __('Nouvelle video'),
        'view_item' => __('Voir le lien de la video'),
        //'search_items' => __(' Video'),
        'menu_name' => 'Video'
    ),
    'public' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,

    'hierarchical' => true,

  1. Alright, You can just hook into the filter pre_get_posts and check is_admin.
    Put this in your theme or plugin: 

    function wpse_81939_post_types_admin_order( $wp_query ) {
  if (is_admin()) {

    // Get the post type from the query
    $post_type = $wp_query->query['post_type'];

    if ( $post_type == 'Videos') {

      $wp_query->set('orderby', 'date');

      $wp_query->set('order', 'DESC');
    }
  }
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'wpse_81939_post_types_admin_order');

    I also would shange the post_type “Videos” to lowercase like “video”.

  2. The example above disables the ordering feature by clicking columns.

    Sortable & for multiple custom post types:

    function wpse_819391_post_types_admin_order( $wp_query ) {
  if ( is_admin() && !isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ) {     
    // Get the post type from the query
    $post_type = $wp_query->query['post_type'];
    if ( in_array( $post_type, array('videos','news','text') ) ) {
      $wp_query->set('orderby', 'date');
      $wp_query->set('order', 'DESC');
    }
  }
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'wpse_819391_post_types_admin_order');

  3. I used a bit different approach:

        add_action('pre_get_posts', 'filter_posts_list'); 

    function filter_posts_list($query)  {
        //$pagenow holds the name of the current page being viewed
         global $pagenow, $typenow;  
        if(current_user_can('edit_posts') && ('edit.php' == $pagenow))  { 
            //global $query's set() method for setting
            $query->set('orderby', 'date');
            $query->set('order', 'desc');
        }
    }
