Have you already verified that the "app order" is set to manual?

I don't have an "app order manual" in my settings. I've looked.

For those that do not have the auto/manual option, and experiencing the reordering of apps, it is usually a power supply or memory fail issue.

If you have a Roku model that has a USB power supply, you can try replacing both the USB cable and the power adapter (5volt, 1amp cell phone charging adapter should work).  If powering from TV, try using a wall outlet.

It seems though that the Ultra models seem to suffer this more so than the other devices.  For that, you could try replacing the barrel adapter. (100-240 Volts 50/60 Hz)  https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/roku-power-adaptor-ultra

If turns out not to be the power supply, then I believe it to to be a flash memory issue, (and since hardware related) no real resolution other than replacing the device unfortunately. (at least from what I have seen).

Edited since Roku-branded RokuTV model added to last post.

Since this is a Roku Plus model, a moderator should be able to help you out.

Perhaps @RokuMaryEF or @RokuCarly can assist you.
