1. Soma Bringer's translation patch changes the icon and name.. To something like a black DS icon and the name "DS Program File". How do I change it back to the original name/icon? I believe it was correct when I looked at it on YSmenu, so it must be a Wood R4 thing.

2. NES DS and Lameboy are all the way at the bottom of the list of stuff I've got, which is sorted alphabetically (odd, because the last game in the list is WarioWare Touched and not some game starting with L). Is that how it's supposed to be, or are they supposed to be in alphabetical order with the rest of the list?

3. What do I want to do if I want to change GBA game icons and names? I want to change some games to have icons related to whatever game it is instead of the GBA icon, and change it so the names aren't stuff like "Golden Sun.gba" and more like what DS games have, such as "Jam with the Band" On one line and "Nintendo" on the next.
 
Not sure about the first 2 problems, but you won't be able to add icons to the GBA games as it doesn't have a section in the header that holds the icon info. It's a really bare header compared to the DS rom headers.

For the sorting issue, it may be down to the case. It believe it doesn't sort ny AaBbCc, but by AZaz.
So far, except for Lameboy and NES DS, it's sorted by AaBbCc for me. Wood R4 is one of the few firmwares I've tried that sorts Lameboy and NES DS to the very end. The other one was Coverflow, before I found out how to make it sort correctly and before it began corrupting everything in my micro SD.

There aren't any hacks I could do to fix it?
 
My mistake then, I might of been thinking about the directories. I know there was someone complaining about it with AKAIO hence I assumed the same with R4.

You should also check for spaces or symbols as first character.

AFAIK, GBA games don't support icons or multi-line info.

I just tried that, but DS Buff has the correct icon, name, and little info under the game name....

As I said.... The icon, name, and info under the game name worked in YSmenu....
Oddly, the translated ROM for Tales of Innocence didn't get this problem.

Ummm.... Okay.... No .nds file on my R4 has a space before the name, and symbols are only used if they're in the name of the game. Lameboy and NES DS still sorted to the bottom of the list on Wood R4.

Damn. Not even if I use a header hack or something? Come on, not even a way to make it list just the name of the game without the file extension? It does that no matter what I've set the filenames to show as. I set it to show names with extensions, it'd say 'blahblahblah.gba'. I set it to show names without extensions, it shows 'blahblahblah.gba'. I set it to show full names, it shows 'blahblahblah.gba'.
