    Groetjes Katya, this really should be simple. It is not, though… 😉

    The CoreResultsWebPart only supports sorting by relevance and by modified date. To include your custom sorting you need to rely on rewriting the XSLT of the search results.

    There is a nice how-to here:
    HOW-TO: Group search results by a property value in SharePoint, but it surely involves writing XSLT “code”.

    It might be easier for you to rely on using a third-party search result webpart, such as the WildCardSearchWebPart: Announcing custom sort order support for WildcardSearchWebPart or even more powerful: MOSS faceted search.

    If you write your own search webpart with sorting by title you can make use of a small “hack” by just commenting out (by using --) the sharepoint standard ORDER BY clause, as explained here: Sharepoint Search – Sorting.
