is there a way to make an app in the games section show always on top just right below webMan? I want Irisman to be at a fixed position below the webMan icon, which is fixed on top as well.

right now irisman backup manager is out of place between all the games in the list. how can I move it up to show it under webMan and before all the games?

thanks in advance!
 
You can add the APP ID in your game_category.xml just right after the wmm entry or Edit the Homebrew' PARAM.SFO with the priority flag
 
can you please explain this in more detail? what is the easier way?
I have not found the entry for priority flag in PARAM.SFO Editor

and there is no webman mod entry in the xml :/

I'm on 4.88.2 Evilnat Cobra (8.3) Custom FirmWare PS3 Slim

at first it worked. after i installed the package, irisman was displayed correctly at the top. however, after i started the app once, the position reset itself

maybe you have to do it through the xml files. here are the files you wanted. can you do it for me please?

It should work now, i added it under webMAN games
 
all good :)
it works so far, but irisman is now displayed 2x in the category. 1x on top below webman and 1x in the list among the games.

does this work like a forwarder now?

Is just your XMB is scanning irisman twice, with the custom <query> you added, and with the official one that looks like this:
Code: 
			<Query
				class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"
				key="gameDir"
				attr="gameDir"
				src="xil://localhost/list?t=game"
			/>

The solution used some firmwares ago was to "blacklist" irisman in the official query... this way only appears one time in your custom <query>

But take a look at this sample of the <query> "gameDir" from an old firmware
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/XMB-G...Fresource.2Fexplore.2Fxmb.2Fcategory_game.xml

As you can see the line with the "src" is different... what they did around firmware 4.46 was to replace the function "xcb" by a "xil" function, is mentioned here:
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/XMBML_Functions#xil:.2F.2Flocalhost.2Flist.3F

The "xcb" functions allows to be modifyed, are mostly a list of conditional statements and we can add a new statement in it to "blacklist" irisman... but the "xil" functions are a bit unknown, we cant modify them


So... the solution would require to do 2 modifications in the <query> "gameDir"
1) replace the line with the "xil" by the line with the "xcb" from a firmware around 4.46 or older
2) add a conditional in it to negate irisman by his TITLE_ID


The conditional operators are listed at top of this page https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/XMBML_Functions#Operators
Basically... you need to add the operator "An" (that means "and not equal") this way
Code: 
An+Game:Game.titleId BLUS12345
 
Another way to show only one entry is listing the games by Albums.

Assign an album to each PSN game or homebrew (e.g. Backup Managers, Tools, Shooters, Racing, etc.)

IRISMAN icon will show followed by album folders. The second entry will be inside one of the albums.
 
This should work

Code: 
 src="xcb://localhost/query?sort=+Game:Common.titleForSort&cond=Oe+Game:Game.category HG+Oe+Game:Game.category 1P+Oe+Game:Game.category 2P+Oe+Game:Game.category MN+Oe+Game:Game.category PE+Oe+Game:Game.category X0+Oe+Game:Game.category X4+An+Game:Game.titleId IRISMAN00+An+Game:Game.category 2D+An+Game:Game.category BV+An+Game:Game.category GD+An+Game:Game.category HM+An+Game:Game.category SD+An+Game:Game.category VF+An+Game:Game.category WT"/>
