Adding in the ability to have the list of publications sort in either ascending or descending order based on the date

Thank you for the pull request!

Even though it might be helpful in some cases, I think it breaks the separation between the content and the design RenderCV tries to achieve. The whole content should stay in the cv section and not depend on the theme. With this approach, content is updated based on a design option.

Isn’t it trivial for users to keep them ordered in the YAML? Please let me know if I am missing something.

That's a fair point. This does break the separation between design content. The motivation is that when transition over to this for those of us with a lot of pubs, it's kind of a massive pain.

Two additional ideas:

• How do you feel about adding a flag to the render cli function similar to the use local latex?

rendercv render your_yaml.yaml --sort_publications ascending

• Alternatively.. there could be another specific function / module to assist with yaml changes such as these that keeps the logic /

rendercv format your_yaml.yaml --sort_publications ascending

I'm thinking the second option would be better from a design standpoint. Thoughts?
