Advice for enabling plugin mods: Always copy the plugin name from the plugin, don't trust your typing skills and reading comprehension, that has tripped up people.

This looks awesome! Is it possible to end the names after the "MK.x" and leave off all those mod descriptors (incendiary or mirrored, etc.)? I can figure out what mods it's got in the description, it doesn't have to be in the title and that would really clean up the list (and hopefully make them all one size for help with OCD).
A bit deeper... Is it possible to replace the "Mk.x" with something like [Mk x] or [T1] - [T5] and put that in front of the name, but ALSO still have it sort by the name instead of the T? Like [T2] Grendel sorts with other Grendels and not with other [T2] weapons?
To your second question, it's possible, but I'm not going to do it because Ts are for hot days and driving golf balls. To your third question, no it's not possible.
