Have you tried the order attribute?
According to the help, that would only affect “sortby”, not “title”.
OK, I just played around a little more.
Our original aim was to have subheadings for years, but sortby=”author” within years. I assumed this was possible because of the help text under Display > title (“Note: The “order” and “sortby” attributes will act as a secondary sort”).
I now realized that if you combine sortby=”author” and title=”year”, the headings instead get sorted by author. The way to go for us seems to be [zotpress title=”year” sortby=”date” order=”desc”], even if we lose alphabetical order within the yearly sections.

Glad you found a way forward!
I’m afraid I have to reopen this.
I just noticed that combining [zotpress title=”year” sortby=”date” order=”desc”] sorts the headings correctly (recent years first), but order within the yearly section is reversed (oldest first). Sorting the entries descendingly works correctly when title=”year” is left out of the shortcode.
