WARNING: Using region4 to launch a title under emunand will boot the title under SYSNAND
Last update: 24 feb 2016 - 16:35 GTM+1 (version 1.1.3s)
Changelog (since 15 sept 2015 - 17:00 GTM+1)
Feature list:
- Multiple configurable folders, change with L/R
- Favorites: access with X, add/remove with SELECT
- Disable/enable region free entry (configurable, toogle with hold DuP+R)
- Alphabetical sorting (by folder/filename, not title in smdh file). Case sensitiveness configurable. Mix stray 3dsx configurable.
- Option to remember last folder and last entry launched (toogle with hold Dup + L).
- Custom themes (defined in themes.xml)
- Random theme at boot (optional)
- Create/delete HANS/Region4 shortcuts
The "remember menu" feature is not shown on the video since it is made on citra and we can't boot hombrew there from hbl.
New Controls:
- L/R: previous/next folder
- SELECT: add/remove favorite entry
- X: enter/exit favorites menu
- Hold Dup+R: toggle region free (title launcher)
Reboot screen (press start in homebrew list to enter reboot screen):
- L/R in reboot screen: previous/next theme
- SELECT: toggle random theme
- Y: toggle remember menu
- Dup: toggle alphabetic/filesystem sorting
- Ddown: toggle mix stray 3dsx files on/off
- Dleft: toggle remember region free (title launcher) state
- START: Shutdown
SVDT integration (not needed anymore):
NOTE: svdt and ctrulib were updated and now it can get the title by itself.
- As of svdt 0.10.1 HBL mod will pass the selected title to svdt. This makes you only need to select the title once instead of two times (one in hbl, one in svdt). This makes savegame backup easier.
Known bugs:
- Crash on empty folder if region free is disabled. Under ninjhax 2.x (ironhax, youhax, oot3dhax, smashhax...) this is workarounded by automatically re-enabling region-free, so any xxxHax user won't have this problem. On ninjhax 1.x it will crash since region free is not available there, so just don't have empty folders. You can put a file named z.3dsx so it appears alwas as the last entry if you want to keep the folder.
Demonstration video (a little outdated):
Note: some homebrew must go in the /3ds/ folder because it uses hardcoded paths. Test all new homebrew in /3ds/ folder. Still, most homebrew work in any folder.
Hax installers like ironhax and oot3dhax may fail if not run under /3ds/ folder (I've only tested oot3dhax installer).

Original post:
Version in github has more features, I'll update the thread when I get time.
Features:
- Multiple configurable folders, change with L/R
- Favorites: access with X, add/remove with SELECT
- Disable/enable region free entry (configurable, toogle with DuP+R)
- Alphabetical sorting (by folder/filename, not tile in smdh file). Case sensitiveness configurable. Mix stray 3dsx configurable.
NOTE: configuration is only saved when adding/removing favorites. This will affect the region free setting too.
Already implemented, need to know if there are problems with it:
- Option to remember last folder
- Option to remember last entry launched
There's not much more I'd like to add, I think it has many features I thought were missing.

The Homebrew Launcher folder/sort mod by suloku '15
***************************************************
This a modified version of the Hombrew Launcher for 3ds that adds folder support and sorting.
Sorting:
--------
Homebrew is sorted by filename/foldername.
Sorting example:
0_ftbrony/
boot.3dsx
citragb/
ftbrony/
ftbrony.3dsx
z_ftbrony/
Remember that the 3dsx file inside a folder must either be named the same as the folder or boot.3dsx.
Folders:
--------
¡¡IMPORTANT!!: if a homebrew has a hardcoded to /3ds/ and needs files to be there, it will only work from the /3ds/ folder. Always test new homebrew from /3ds/ folder.
Folder paths are specified in sdmc:/3ds/folders.xml
If no folders.xml is found it just behaves as regular homebrew launcher
Up to 20 paths can be added.
Config values:
--------------
- mix_files:
· 0 = OFF Stray .3dsx files are sorted after homebrew with folder and icon
· 1 = ON all homebrew is sorted alphabetically
- case_sensitive (see example)
· 0 = OFF : capital and lower case letters alike
· 1 = ON : Capital letters before lower case
- disable_RF
· 0 = OFF : region free entry will appear
· 1 = ON : disables the region free entry
note: the region free entry can be toogled with DPad UP + R.
note2: when the config file is saved, region free setting will be saved as well.
note 3: currently config file is only saved if there are changes to favorites.
Case_sensitive sorting example:
OFF ON
blargsnes GameYob
GameYob SavedataManager
ftbrony blargsnes
SavedataManager ftbrony
svdt svdt
Favorites:
----------
They can be set and removed from inside the HBLauncher. Press SELECT.
Press X to enter/exit the favorites menu.
Up to 20 favorites can be added.
Favorites can be manually defined in the config file, example:
IMPORTANT: unlike folders, don't add the last '/' character
<fav>/3ds/_EMU/GameYob/GameYob.3dsx</fav>
<fav>/3ds/_EMU/PokeMini</fav>
<fav>/3ds/_UTIL/CTRXPLORER</fav>
<fav>/3ds/_UTIL/CTRXplorer/boot.3dsx</fav>
<fav>/3ds/ftbrony/boot.3dsx</fav>
New Controls:
-------------
- L: previous folder
- R: next folder
- X: enter favorites menu
- SELECT: add/remove favorite entry

Changelog:
----------
[+]v2c
- Config saved also when rebooting from HBL.
[+]v2b
- Solved crashing when loading empty folder/ favorites tags.
[+]v2
- Added option in xml to sort case sensitive or not
- Added option in xml to sort stray .3dsx files mixed with full homebrew (those in a folder) or after them
- Added option to disable region free entry
- UP+R toogles region free in the menu itself
- X opens favorite menu
- Favorite paths/3dsx files can be configured in xml
- Changed folders.xml to config.xml since now it holds more things
- Removed SELECT to refresh. Just toogle favorites or press next/previous folder button. Works even with no xml file (remember, this is for those times hblauncher for some reason doesn't load any homebrew and can only exit or boot region free).
- Dinamically set/remove favorites with SELECT
- Save modified favorites to xml file
