Sure, you could do it by editing the file, or with a plugin, but it's going to be a lot easier to just run the following 2 lines (as separate SQL queries) (vB ACP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query)
[sql]UPDATE forum SET defaultsortfield = 'title'[/sql]
[sql]UPDATE forum SET defaultsortorder = 'asc'[/sql]
Then run "Rebuild Forum Information" in ACP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters.
