Description

It is possible by manually appending `?sort=title` to the URL like so:
https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL1394244A/Cory_Doctorow?sort=title

However, we should add it to the UI so that patrons can easily do this.
It would also help for people working on merges.

On the authors page we can add a link next to `| Top Rated` that says one of the following:
- `A-Z`
- `Title`
- `Alphabetical`

A separate issue would be to add this to the main books + authors page.
