Forum Display Enhancements - Prefix Selector (Like vBulletin.org)

This mods adds a "Prefix Selector" like the one on this site (see screenshot)

vB4 already has something like it but it's placed at the bottom of the forumdisplay and is not very visible.

Features

• Sort by: Timeframe
• Sort by: Other sorting types (last pastime, number of views, thread ratings, etc)
• Sort by: prefix
• Sort by: ascending/descending order

Please "Mark as Installed" for support/updates
Also don't forget to rate
Nominate for MOTM if you'd like as well


Installation is very simple, simply import the XML and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, for me does not fix the problem.
Yesterday I paste the FORUMDISPLAY code of my default vbskin and it worked.
But something missing and does not show well the central horizontal tcat bar.


I could not manage to sort which code fixes the selector and which code I must insert to fix the tcat problem.
