Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Often I'm looking for symbols around a particular address. I can search for a particular address, but not sort by address so I can browse symbols surrounding an address.

Describe the solution you'd like

A key to sort by address, or sort by name

Describe alternatives you've considered

top is an example of a text UI that provides flexible sorting, like shift-p to sort by process load, and shift-m to sort by memory usage.

Additional context

Filtering would be nice too, like "only show symbols of type FUNC", or sort by symbol type then name or address.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing TUI symbol list implementation, identify where sorting is applied, and add options to sort by name or address. Consider using a keybinding to toggle sort order.
