Answer 1

If you want to order by a specific column, use the ORDER BY clause.

$query = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * 
                        FROM leaderboards 
                        WHERE game_id=2 AND mode_id=1 and map_id=15 
                        ORDER BY rank
                        LIMIT 0, 100');

Answer 2

you even can use more that one field to sort, See below

$query = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * 
                        FROM leaderboards 
                        WHERE game_id=2 AND mode_id=1 and map_id=15 
                        ORDER BY rank, rank2
                        LIMIT 0, 100');
