Feat: Add sorting options

Adds a new option for `@fzf-url-sort-by`, defaulting to `alphabetical` as before, and adding `recency` to sort urls by recency in the scrollback history.

Most of the time when I use this plugin, I want to open the url that just got printed (usually a github PR). Sorting be recency makes it so 9/10 times, I invoke the plugin and hit enter to oepn it right away.

 set -g @fzf-url-fzf-options '-w 50% -h 50% --multi -0 --no-preview --no-border'
 ```
 
+You can control how URLs are sorted by setting `@fzf-url-sort-by`:
+
+```tmux
+# Sort URLs by recency (default) - preserves scrollback order, most recent first
+set -g @fzf-url-sort-by 'recency'
+
+# Sort URLs alphabetically - original behavior
+set -g @fzf-url-sort-by 'alphabetical'
+```
+
 By default, `tmux-fzf-url` will use `xdg-open`, `open`, or the `BROWSER`
 environment variable to open the url, respectively. If you want to use a
 different command, you can set `@fzf-url-open` to the command you want to use.
