How to Reorder Stremio Addons with Addon Manager

One of the most common complaints about Stremio is its lack of a native feature to reorder your installed add-ons. By default, your favorite streaming add-ons can end up buried at the very bottom of your links list, forcing you to scroll past secondary backup links every time you want to watch something.

This tutorial will show you how to easily reorder Stremio Add-ons.

Fortunately, there is a simple workaround. Using a free tool called the Addon Manager, you can fully customize the layout of your add-ons on a PC, phone, or tablet.

Here is the step-by-step tutorial on how to rearrange your Stremio add-ons so your favorites are always front and center.

Why Reordering Your Stremio Add-ons Matters

When you pull up a movie or TV show in Stremio, the app populates a list of available streams based on your installed add-ons. If your primary link provider (like Debridio or Torrentio) is at the end of that list, it creates unnecessary scrolling.

Furthermore, any catalog add-ons that display content directly on your Stremio home page will follow this exact same order. Reorganizing your add-ons optimizes both your stream selection screen and your main dashboard.

Step 1: Access the Addon Manager Website

Open a web browser on your PC, smartphone, or tablet and navigate to the Addon Manager website. While a mobile browser works perfectly fine, using a desktop computer provides a larger screen which makes dragging and dropping much easier.

Step 2: Log In with Your Stremio Credentials

Once on the website, you will need to connect your account:

Input the email address you used to register your Stremio account.

Enter your Stremio password.

Click Log In.

Note: Upon logging in, the tool will automatically securely pull your unique authorization key (auth key) directly from Stremio to bridge the two platforms.

Step 3: Load and Rearrange Your Add-ons

Scroll down the main page and click the Load Add-ons button.

A complete list of all your installed Stremio add-ons will appear on the screen.

Left-click (or tap and hold on mobile) any add-on to drag it up or down into your preferred sequence.

Pro Tip: Always leave Cinemeta at the very top of your list. Cinemeta is the official core add-on responsible for loading movie posters, descriptions, and TV show artwork. Moving it can break your visual interface. Place your favorite stream providers (like Debridio) directly below it.

Step 4: Sync Changes to Your Account

After you have perfectly organized your list, scroll down to the bottom of the interface and click Sync to Stremio. Wait a brief moment until the screen displays a Sync Complete confirmation message.

Step 5: Force Restart Stremio on Your Streaming Device

For the newly synced order to take effect on your Android TV box, Firestick, or other streaming device, you must force the application to reload its database.

Exit the Stremio app completely by hitting the Back button on your remote control multiple times.

Alternatively, force close the application through your device’s settings menu.

Relaunch Stremio.

Verifying Your New Setup

To confirm the process worked, simply click on any movie or TV show title. Your preferred add-on links should now instantly populate at the absolute top of the source list, saving you time and giving you immediate access to your preferred streams.
