Hi,

I've had to make another update to the general publications support code in
order to implement a feature of the SBL rendering. Denis Maier has opened
some issues on the context-sbl GitHub repo (
https://github.com/jjmccollum/context-sbl) to offer some helpful
suggestions about needed features and bug fixes. One issue was that SBL
should order list entries by author and title. Thankfully, there is already
an authordate sortmethod defined in publ-aut.lua (probably to support the
Chicago rendering), so I was able to use it as a template for the
following authortitle sort sequence:

```
publications.sortmethods.authortitle = {
    sequence = {
        { field = "author",  default = "",     unknown = "" },
        { field = "title",   default = "",     unknown = "" },
        { field = "date",  default = "9998-13-32",     unknown =
"9999-14-33" }, -- some specifications allow date instead of year, month,
day
        { field = "year",    default = "9998", unknown = "9999" },
        { field = "month",   default = "13",   unknown = "14" },
        { field = "day",     default = "32",   unknown = "33" },
        { field = "index",   default = "",     unknown = "" },
    },
}
```

I added this to publ-aut.lua because publications.sortmethods.authoryear is
defined in that file, but if another location is more appropriate, then
feel free to let me know, and I can move it! Otherwise, if this looks okay
to include in a future update, then feel free to incorporate it!

Joey
