This modification I searched a lot about it and posted here in vbulletin.org but nobody seemed to know how.
Until I posted this thread the only forums who have pagination directly without "&order=desc" in forumdisplay urls was http://www.nmisr.com/vb/ and Digital point forum where I also asked and no body answered.

Since I managed to know how I would like to share:
First : value of this mod. :
1- prevent duplicate content detected in Google webmaster tools.
2- gives single url for each forumdisplay page
3- SEO value : remove Duplicate urls for search engines to determine one url to index
4- higher page rank you might get for right internal linking
5- Internal linking now goes along urls in sitemap generated by vbseo sitemap generator.
