Each app has a number.

There is another approach. It’s a bit clunky, but it can work. On the ROKU Home Screen you can rearrange the app icons. In your program, think of programming the app in terms of what it takes to navigate to a particular icon — for example ‘down 2’, ‘right 2’. Whichever app icon occupying that spot can be executed. It’s not so nice if you change the icon order.

While not possible on IR only remotes, it is possible to fetch the ROKU’s favorite channels and duplicate the channel icon display on the remote’s screen. If the customer shuffles the icon order, the remote will reflect this after the next screen refresh.
