Can you have the users list pre sorted by specific column?

This code will add the sortable user registration date column and it will handle default sorting of the user table by registration date.

The majority of this code was taken from Mika Epstein’s Recently Registered plugin. I added the bit to handle the default sort order which is a tweaked snippet of code from this post.

/**
 * Registers users by date registered by default. When user clicks
 * other sortable column headers, those will take effect instead.
 */
add_action( 'pre_user_query', 'wpse209591_order_users_by_date_registered_by_default' );
function wpse209591_order_users_by_date_registered_by_default( $query ) {
    global $pagenow;

    if ( ! is_admin() || 'users.php' !== $pagenow || isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ) {
        return;
    }
    $query->query_orderby = 'ORDER BY user_registered ASC';
}

/**
 * Registers column for display
 */
add_filter( 'manage_users_columns', 'wpse209591_users_columns');
function wpse209591_users_columns( $columns ) {
    $columns['registerdate'] = _x( 'Registered', 'user', 'your-text-domain' );
    return $columns;
}

/**
 * Handles the registered date column output.
 * 
 * This uses the same code as column_registered, which is why
 * the date isn't filterable.
 *
 * @global string $mode
 */
add_action( 'manage_users_custom_column', 'wpse209591_users_custom_column', 10, 3);
function wpse209591_users_custom_column( $value, $column_name, $user_id ) {

    global $mode;
    $mode = empty( $_REQUEST['mode'] ) ? 'list' : $_REQUEST['mode'];

    if ( 'registerdate' != $column_name ) {
         return $value;
    } else {
        $user = get_userdata( $user_id );

        if ( is_multisite() && ( 'list' == $mode ) ) {
            $formated_date = __( 'Y/m/d' );
        } else {
            $formated_date = __( 'Y/m/d g:i:s a' );
        }

        $registered   = strtotime( get_date_from_gmt( $user->user_registered ) );
        $registerdate="<span>". date_i18n( $formated_date, $registered ) .'</span>' ;

        return $registerdate;
    }
}

/**
 * Makes the column sortable

add_filter( 'manage_users_sortable_columns', 'wpse209591_users_sortable_columns' );
function wpse209591_users_sortable_columns( $columns ) {

    $custom = array(
        // meta column id => sortby value used in query
        'registerdate' => 'registered',
    );

    return wp_parse_args( $custom, $columns );
}

/**
 * Calculate the order if we sort by date.
 *

add_filter( 'request', 'wpse209591_users_orderby_column' );
function wpse209591_users_orderby_column( $vars ) {

    if ( isset( $vars['orderby'] ) && 'registerdate' == $vars['orderby'] ) {
        $vars = array_merge( $vars, array(
            'meta_key' => 'registerdate',
            'orderby' => 'meta_value'
        ) );
