Hello imkingdavid,

Click inside dropdown can activate prefix and insert it on the last position. Click on already activated prefix can send it back to the dropdown. Although I'm not sure what could be the benefit of sorting prefixes per-topic.
I totally agree with Lunaus on that one. Current dropdown seems to be overcomplicating simple task. As far as I know, there is no other usable extension for topic prefixes, but
most of administrators look for simple functionality - like
this MOD - one prefix, no ordering (=dropdown->click->done). That's why so many people are confused by the extension, that can do more.
And by more I mean, is that still a prefix functionality? Because it is more similar to topic tagging (like
this). It's just my personal opinion. I'm perfectly aware that the direction of development is up to you and I don't want to question your decisions. I also highly appreciate the time and effort you have put into this extension.
Few days ago, I tested the extension on my board and the outcome wasn't very good. Current release doesn't support dragging prefix in MS Edge and has a strange (somehow laggy) behavior in IE12 too (both @win10/x64). I didn't test it personally, but got feedback from my moderators, that it also doesn't work on some mobile browsers.
As for the design of the dropdown window, it feels a bit weird imho (@Prosilver). There are some strange artifacts around droppable elements (in all browsers), which I'm not sure being intended or not. More importantly, there is no border or background on the prefixes and even when viewing forums, the prefixes are almost undistinguishable from the topic title. There is also one minor thing I don't understand: Why is it allowed to sort prefixes inside dropdown (eg. change their order by drag&drop them)?
I wanted to mention more things here, but then I noticed you already have them listed under the "Bugs" tab in your repository. Most important of them probably being the integration with search function.
Hope this helps you a little. In case you need any help, feel free to contact me.
