MooTools - Adjust default sort for a table

Hey all. I'm not really a JavaScript person, but am trying to help a friend with a little something. This page offers a table, in which, you can click either header to sort column by. Everything works. We just need a little help in knowing what we'd be looking for to alter how the page loads by default. Currently sorting alphabetically, we wish to load sorting by rank. I've looked through all the PHP, and have found some defaults in a .js file, but not what needed.

The site is http://ancientredemption.jtgcomputers.com/ and the component spoken of is the Guild Roster on left, know as com_raidplanner. The 3 .js files in use are:
Folder: components/com_raidplanner/
HtmlTable.Extended.js
mootools.more.125.additional.js
raidplanner.js

Any help/input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It seems to be using the script's default. You need to set the sortIndex and maybe the sortReverse properties in the embedded script.

Code:

var rosterTable = new HtmlTable(
	$('roster_table'),
	{
		properties: {
			border: 0,
			cellspacing: 1,
			cellpadding: 5
		},
		sortable: true,
		sortIndex: 5,
		zebra: true,
		selectable: true,
		allowMultiSelect: false,
[...]
