D7 fatal error on brand new installation

Upon enabling the module for the first time on a clean Drupal installation I get the following fatal errors:

Notice: Undefined index: taxonomy_index in nodeorder_install() (line 17 of sites/all/modules/contrib/nodeorder/nodeorder.install).
Notice: Undefined index: type in DatabaseSchema_mysql->processField() (line 205 of includes/database/mysql/schema.inc).
Notice: Undefined index: :normal in DatabaseSchema_mysql->processField() (line 205 of includes/database/mysql/schema.inc).
PDOException: SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT NULL, ADD INDEX `weight` (`weight`)' at line 1: ALTER TABLE {taxonomy_index} ADD `weight` DEFAULT NULL, ADD INDEX `weight` (`weight`); Array ( ) in db_add_field() (line 2844 of includes/database/database.inc).

This appears at first glance to be due to the nodeorder_schema_alter() function on line 52 of the install file not being triggered since the module is not enabled when it tries to set up the schema. It appears that simply by moving the schema definition into the nodeorder_install() function the module can be installed without the fatal error.
