Board Game Arena

I'm using ebg.stock(). When loading the page and populating the stock, it animates the sorting.
I can see the same behavior in many games on BGA, not just mine

I find this inelegant - animation should be used to draw attention to something, and there's nothing that "happens" in the page load, so I want it stock display to load in sorted form without animation.

Is there a way to achieve that with the current stock component?

If you are starting using stock, best option would be to skip it.
There is currently two viable alternative described on wiki, much more elegant than stock

In few words, stock is ok as soon as you don't need to modify anything of its behavior...
