Hi!

You want to sort by attribute so that should be like

'sort_by',array( 'attribute',false(),100 )
here 100 is attribute_id of creation see the class definition for that.

Also you can use the identifier of the class and the attribute like

'sort_by',array( 'attribute',false(),'yourclassname/creation' )
