I want to display a set of documents in alphabetical order and not the order they were entered into the database.  

The docs are displayed via this code:

<w:snippet name='tech-specs-list' />

Snippet:

<w:taxonomy name="doc-types:Tech Spec">
   <w:kb:item:each taxonomy="current">
      <div class="pdf_wide">     
      <w:unless condition="icon.blank?">
        <a href="<w:file />"><img src="<w:icon rendition='thumb' />" ></a>
      </w:unless>
      <h2><w:name /></h2> 
      <p>
      <w:description />
      <a href="<w:file />">View PDF</a>
      </p>
      </div>
  </w:kb:item:each>
</w:taxonomy>

Thanks for your help!
