This doesn't appear to be working for me on FireStick4k with ChannelsDVR for Synology. Is there a reference to a online HELP page to walk me through proper setup?

Please read the original post and/or title.
This is only for tvOS at the moment. There is no Android TV or Fire TV support for this feature.
Thanks!
Not sure how feasible it is but what do you think about allowing the use of spacers or divider lines in the sidebar? They could still count against the 15 line limit to ensure no runoff. Mockup incoming...

Interesting suggestion. We'll keep it in mind.
This is why we want you guys using this stuff while we work on it.

I love this idea!
I do too 
I think Sort order has an issue on the Admin UI.
I have a Section, Content Type - Video Group.
Sort - Alphabetically. Sort Order - Forward.
When set to Forward, the Admin UI show the video groups in Reverse order (Z to A).
On the client, it is correct in Forward (A to Z).
When i set it to Reverse in Admin Ui, it shows as Forward in Admin UI, But correctly in client as in Reverse.
EDIT. Never mind. Seems you need to have the "Sort Title" filled in in your Video Group, else it messed up how the Personal sections sort it. I had 2 of my 5 Groups have a Sort Title, and the other 3 did not. Once i added that, sort works fine.

Hmm, that's still a bug. I'll check it out. When sorting, it should fall back to the Title if the Sort Title is blank. Thanks.

While we are dreaming about features, how about a sidebar with expanding menu options? As you scroll down and highlight an entry, some entries will auto expand to reveal multiple sub-items. Or maybe instead of auto expanding, sidebar items have an arrow character indicating that there are menu options underneath and you long press or right click to reveal.

I’m being dense I’m sure, but where do I find the setting to customize the sidebar? I’ve got a Personal Section set up properly, but now don’t know where I go to configure the sidebar. I’ve poked around in the server settings but can’t find it.
In the CDVR web admin, click Settings → Clients and then scroll all the way down.

In the collection using automatic rules

Ah yes, of course. Thanks
I just realized you can kind of simulate my earlier idea about putting spacers between personal sections right now, as you can see in the screenshot. This one is not a mockup, it's actually on my AppleTV.
I made a new flow personal collection, made the name a single space using the spacebar, and changed the icon to something not already being used. (For my actual setup I'm using the circle icon since I don't use the recordings tab.) For the content type I'm using something that will come up empty (in my case, video groups). To make a second spacer, you just use two spaces for the name, then three spaces, etc...
The downsides are there is still an icon there, which isn't too bad when the sidebar is shown, but the minimized version will still look crowded. And, the blank spaces don't actually get skipped as you scroll over them.
This is a great idea, thanks! Just now I did the same, to tinker around and see how it feels. We do use Video Groups a lot though. So to force an empty tab, instead I just slapped together a random Smart Rule that would never, ever find a match 
Here's a custom grid of the many buttons in my "Apps" tab:
Why is this so fun?
