I guess the wording could be improved there.  'name' refers to 'key'.
In a sense, it's just restating the obvious - a key is a key.
By the way, filtering has little to do with sorting.  
From memory, you just need to enable filtering to enable sorting, but you don't need to worry about its template variables.

Thank you for the followup !

Guess am still not understanding the terminology, and not maybe not asking the question correctly (trouble with beginners)...
1. If thread field key = ct_
2. If thread field title = Custom Thread:
3. How to modify template 'ct_forumdisplay_threadlist' for modify search option...

<option value="starter" {$sortsel['starter']}>{$lang->sort_by_starter}</option>

...to change from search by 'author' to search by 'Custom Thread:' (textfield input) with...

<option value="???" {$sortsel['???']}>Custom Thread:</option>

Assume ??? would include the thread field key = 'ct_' ?
And a 'name' = ___ ?

Or am still totally off track on this one ?
