Nope, you can’t do that by default, the only choices are those visible in the category setting `Topic List Sort By`:

- Activity
- Category
- Created
- Likes
- Original Post Likes
- Posters
- Posts
- Views
- Votes

To get a list sorted alphabetically I think your only choice is to build a plugin. Or follow the workarounds you can find in [Sort display of topics Alphabetically](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-request-sort-display-of-topics-alphabetically/53911)
