Where and how would one change the sort order for display of the articles, as well as for pagination?

If it's not in the Advanced Settings tab, it's probably not an option yet. File it as a Feature Request here: http://bugs.modx.com/projects/articles/issues

for now, I just made it a property of the getArchives snippet; it has the sortby and sortdir properties that can be modified. But it would be useful to be able to set it in the Advanced Settings tab of a given Articles resource.

There is a "Sort Field" in the Advanced Settings tab (Articles version 1.6.3-pl) but it is not usefully labelled so it's unclear if this can be a TV or not. Can this be a TV? E.g. if the Articles are used to track "Events" with a TV for the event's date, that's the most logical field to sort on.... digging through the code to see what works...
