   How do you mean? Display comments and trackbacks in separate places?

   I wrote a small plugin(+ some hack to wp files) that can do it, because I cant find a easier way. lol

   It's possible, but probably not as a plugin. This is mostly controlled by your theme.

   Most themes separate the comments display out into a comments.php file. This code has a loop to display the comments. It'll look sorta like this:
   if ($comments) :
...
foreach ($comments as $comment) :
... stuff to display the comment ...
endforeach;
...
endif;

   You could modify this to separate real comments from trackbacks/pingbacks. You'd do something like this:

   if ($comments) :
...
// display tracks/pings
foreach ($comments as $comment) :
if ($comment->comment_type == "trackback" || $comment->comment_type == "pingback") {
... stuff to display the trackback/pingback ...
}
endforeach;
// display normal comments
foreach ($comments as $comment) :
if ($comment->comment_type != "trackback" && $comment->comment_type != "pingback") {
... stuff to display the comment ...
}
endforeach;
...
endif;

   Basically you loop through the comments twice, displaying only the tracks/pings or only the comments.
