Can't change order of custom posts

Hi everyone

new here and been searching everywhere for the answer before coming here, hopefully someone with experience can help me swiftly.

I have been unable to change the order of my custom “portfolio” posts. I would like the order to be ascending by title – not in reverse by creation date as default.

I think I have found the right file and code but cannot correctly modify it, I appreciate and welcome any changes to code,

regards Craig

<div id="content" class="grid_23 prefix_1">
	<?php include_once (TEMPLATEPATH . '/title.php');?>
  <?php global $more;	$more = 0;?>
  <?php $values = get_post_custom_values("category-include"); $cat=$values[0];  ?>
  <?php $catinclude = 'portfolio_category='. $cat ;?>

  <?php $temp = $wp_query;
	$wp_query= null;
	$wp_query = new WP_Query(); ?>
  <?php $wp_query->query("post_type=portfolio&". $catinclude ."&paged=".$paged.'&showposts=9'); ?>
  <?php if ( ! have_posts() ) : ?>
	<div id="post-0" class="post error404 not-found">
		<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'theme1417' ); ?></h1>
		<div class="entry-content">
			<p><?php _e( 'Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.', 'theme1417' ); ?></p>
			<?php get_search_form(); ?>
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->
	</div><!-- #post-0 -->
<?php endif; ?>
