Make alphabetical sorting the default for backward compatibility

- Changed default from 'recency' to 'alphabetical' to preserve existing behavior
- Users can opt-in to recency sorting by setting @fzf-url-sort-by 'recency'
- Updated documentation to reflect alphabetical as default
- Maintains full backward compatibility with existing configurations

 You can control how URLs are sorted by setting `@fzf-url-sort-by`:
 
 ```tmux
-# Sort URLs by recency (default) - most recent URLs closest to search bar
-set -g @fzf-url-sort-by 'recency'
-
-# Sort URLs alphabetically - original behavior
+# Sort URLs alphabetically (default) - original behavior
 set -g @fzf-url-sort-by 'alphabetical'
+
+# Sort URLs by recency - most recent URLs closest to search bar
+set -g @fzf-url-sort-by 'recency'
 ```
 
 **Smart Layout Detection**: When using recency sorting, the plugin automatically detects your fzf layout and adjusts the sort order to keep the most recent URLs closest to the search bar:
