Feature request: tickbox to list authors in alphabetical order

[alexholcombe]

@anne-urai requested this because her Int'l Brain Laboratory consortium lists authors that way

great idea! we can add an alphabetical order, random order, or order by the order in publication variable. My only problem is that if you make a change in the app it will not be changed in the spreadsheet. However, I am not sure whether that is a huge issue.

One further suggestion: it would be nice to exclude some authors from the alphabetical ordering, and give them a forced position (e.g. in the case of the International Brain Laboratory, the consortium is always first author)

I wonder if this would not be easier to do in the spreadsheet itself than adding it as a tensing function ?
