I am beginning to wonder how to sort search results in word press by post titles. There is a plugin below.
<?php
add_action('pre_get_posts','sort_searchresult_by_title');
function sort_searchresult_by_title($k) {
if(is_search()) {
$k->query_vars['orderby'] = 'title';
$k->query_vars['order'] = 'DESC';
}
}

1. Download the plugin here.
2. Upload to wp-content/plugins directory in wordpress
3. Activate the plugin.
3. So everytime there is a search query made in wordpress, it will sort alphabetically in descending or ascending order.
To sort post titles by ascending order, change the last line to:
