Bug Description
Sorting by score doesn't seem to appeal anyone who knows they can change the sorting criteria with left/right arrows. Sorting by username would immediately show the user where the players are. Maybe have the default criteria remembered from last use or available for setting in autoexec.cfg.
This is a quick fix, but I want to know about opinions on this.

Definitely, remembering the last sorting method is preferable. Or maybe have both, let the default option be that the search is remembered, but make it possible to have it start at a specific search.
(Personally, I use the current behavior and don't want to lose it. I have my sever at an insane score bias so it's always on top and if I need to admin another server in the same tournament, I just switch to name sorting and the other servers are all right there. If the sorting method is remembered, I'd have another keypress to do! Terrible!)
Not that it matters, but Is there really a significant demographic not knowing you can change the soring? It's explained in the same tooltip that tells you how to bookmark servers, and there never seemed to be a lack of really stupid people pouring into ladle final servers because they're full of people, and the score system doesn't like packed servers. Well, maybe they just scrolled down...
