There are filters in the user field that will let you change the sort order, the code in acf looks something like this

// filters
$args = apply_filters("acf/fields/user/query", $args, $field, $options['post_id']);
$args = apply_filters("acf/fields/user/query/name={$field['_name']}", $args, $field, $options['post_id']);
$args = apply_filters("acf/fields/user/query/key={$field['key']}", $args, $field, $options['post_id']);

$args is the same as used in the wp function get_users() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

add_filter('acf/fields/user/query/name=user_field_name', 'change_user_order_by', 10, 3);
function change_user_order_by($args, $field, $post_id) {
  $args['orderby'] = 'display_name';
  return $args;
}
