  We can use the [archives] shortcode to perform a number of useful listing functions, however adding the ‘order by’ option only allows sorting chronologically. How could I display a list of blog entries sorted alphabetically?

  as there is no automatic feature that will provide what you want you would have to make your own site index page and order it alphabetically.

  You would have to hand code a list and then manually update it for each new post. The whole “archive” function is date-centric so there are no alpha sorts built into it. The archive shortcode works off the existing archive function in the core of wordpress.
