View the inventory by alphabetical order #98

The view of the inventory with the covers of the book is very nice ... but not very practical.

A view by alphabetical order for the titles, the author or the series would bring a enormous plus-value. One purpose of Inventaire.io is also to know what do you own. When I am at the book shop, it often happens that I don't remember if I already have the book or not, and so if I should buy it or not.
But the actual presentation doesn't help for this purpose. I must go through the entire page to find (or not) the book. And the search engine is for the entire site. I can't do a research in my own collection so it doesn't help.

they were already several requests for a tabular view so that's definitely a need. In general, the whole inventory interface deserves a good reboot

It is now possible to search by text within an inventory, which should reduce that pain point, but the possibility to sort inventories/shelves differently is a frequent request that we should really come to address at some point.

As stated in #496, it might be possible to provide alphabetic pagination, using Elasticsearch, as items are already indexed there with entity title and authors, and we already have the logic to check the authorization to access other users' items (needed for item search).
