I actually patched the plugin to include this functionality.

At line 211, I added the following:

    if($field['sort_order'] == 'alpha'){
      $sort_args = array(
        'orderby'      => 'name',
        'order'        => 'ASC',
      );
      array_push($args, $sort_args);
    }else if($field['sort_order'] == 'alpha_desc'){
      $sort_args = array(
        'orderby'      => 'name',
        'order'        => 'DESC',
      );
      $args = array_merge($args, $sort_args);
    }

And at approx line 384 (after the last ‘field_option’), I added:

<tr class="field_option field_option_<?php echo $this->name; ?>">
	<td class="label">
		<label><?php _e("Sort Order",'acf'); ?></label>
	</td>
	<td>
		<?php
		do_action('acf/create_field', array(
			'type'		=>	'select',
			'name'		=>	'fields['.$key.'][sort_order]',
			'value'		=>	$field['sort_order'],
			'choices'	=> array(
				'alpha'	=>	__("Alpha Order Assending",'acf'),
        'alpha_desc'	=>	__("Alpha Order Desending",'acf'),
				'id'		=>	__("Term ID",'acf')
			)
		));
		?>
	</td>
</tr>

I’ve attached the PHP file (as a txt file) for those that would like to see it.
