Answer 1

 function listRankBarOnDataBound(arg) {
   //Fires when the list view has received data from the data source and it is already rendered.
   // get a reference to the list view widget
   var listView = $("#ListRankBar").data("kendoListView");
   // selects first list view item
   listView.select(listView.element.children().first());
 }
