How to Rearrange Game Categories in TN-V Using PSP Filer (by edukarlo)
Note from Wololo: This tutorial was initially published by /Talk member edukarlo, as part of our monthly tutorial contest. Edukarlo won the best PS Vita tutorial prize (a $10 PSN Code) for his entry. You can find the original post here.
TN-V arranges icons and categories according to last creation, by default. (A last created category and/or installed game/app appears on top of older ones)
So this is a simple trick to rearrange them
Requirements:
You must have PSP Filer and CategoryLite Plug-In (or any other category plug-in) installed.
The main technique here is by simply changing the file/folder’s date and time properties.
- 1) Open PSP Filer
- 2) Navigate to the folder of the category that you want to be 2nd from the bottom (not including “uncategorized”)
(PSP/GAME and/or PSP/ISO)
(I used Emulators here because it will automatically put “For Edu Use ONLY!” below it (and also the other categories, temporarily) - 3) Press “x” and then “up” to open folder’s properties
- 4) Highlight dates (created, accessed, modified) one by one then press “select” for each.
- 5) Then press start to save new properties
- 6) Repeat for the category you want to be third from the bottom, fourth from the bottom, and so on, until you reach the one that you want to be the topmost category.
And there you go, the categories are now arranged to your preference.

Note: you can also do this to rearrange the games/apps within each category, since PSP Filer’s icon rearranging function only works for uncategorized games/apps.
(pressing “triangle” then “left” at the main PSP Filer screen)
Just select the ISO file and folders of specific games under PSP/GAME that you want to rearrange and do the same process above

Didn’t raiden post a comment a full 6 minutes before you? Not sure how this time system goes
Fail 😛
Meh
useless tutorial as there is a homebrew called ‘homebew sorter’ which let you rearrange homebrew icons order.
read again! specially the title..
Wish PSP filer’s sorting function worked better… I’ve tried to arrange stuff (normally a mixture of ISOs and EBOOTs) and it works fine for EBOOTs, not at all for ISOs..
#3-#5.. use the “set timestamp NOW” trick for each ISO
Can you also rearrange games with this method?
yes, this also works for categorized and uncategorized games.
Could someone post a link for the “CategoryLite Plug-In”, thanks.
Need the CategoryLite Plug-In download link because i didn’t found one compatible with the TN-V. Thanks!
