 * The default link widget actually comes from the core WordPress link manager and
   not from Link Library. The way to get a list of links in a widget with full control
   from Link Library is to install a plugin allowing shortcodes to be used in a 
   widget, then using the [link-library] shortcode in a text widget to display links
   and order them as desired.
 * That being said, it is not currently possible in Link Library to sort by description.
   What is the use case for wanting to sort by description instead of link name?
 * Let me know if this helps and please consider donating to support this plugin’s
   development.
