I think not...

This is a wonderful hack! Since the big VB4 upgrade, it seems this is one of the more gravely missed addons from my staff. It doesn't look like the original developer will be back anytime soon, so I have tried to edit the code and templates to work with VB4... to no avail. I am willing to pay someone to convert this hack to VB4!

If anyone knows how to convert this please PM me with a quote.

Thanks.

Updating the templates shouldn't be too hard. Shame Zoints didn't mark this as reusable else I'd release it again for 4.x

[johon]

My staff is missing this in VB 4.1.x too :-( - would be great to get a version for VB 4.x

Thanks for the code but I'm having real issues with the templates. It gives a security token error, tried sorting like is mentioned in this thread but that was for vb3 so didnt work. So I tried the way of doing it via vb4 and the template change just gives the following errors

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3557

vBulletin Message
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
%1$s
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Any chance you could share your template changes
