Great article - really useful info here that is hard to find anywhere else.

Is is possible to define the sort order of the entity_reference in the BaseFieldDefinition? 

If it's not possible in the BaseFieldDefinition then where should I define the sorting?

After some further digging this seems to be the key bit of code:

->setSetting('handler_settings', [ 'sort' => [ 'field' => 'code', 'direction' => 'ASC', ] ])

$fields['timestamp'] = BaseFieldDefinition::create('created')
  ->setLabel(new TranslatableMarkup('Created On'))
  ->setDescription(t('The time that the node was created.'))
  ->setDisplayOptions('view', [
    'weight' => -2,
    'type' => 'timestamp',
    'settings' => [
      'date_format' => 'custom',
      'custom_date_format' => 'd/m/Y H:i:s',
    ]
  ])
  ->setDisplayConfigurable('view', TRUE);

Oh yeah ! Find by myself =).

<?php

namespace Drupal\monitoring\Plugin\Field\FieldType;

use Drupal\Component\Utility\Random;
use Drupal\Core\Field\FieldDefinitionInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Field\FieldStorageDefinitionInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Field\Plugin\Field\FieldType\StringItemBase;

/**
 * Defines the 'string_medium' field type.
 *
 * @FieldType(
 *   id = "string_medium",
 *   label = @Translation("Text (plain, medium)"),
 *   description = @Translation("A field containing a medium string value."),
 *   category = @Translation("Text"),
 *   default_widget = "string_textarea",
 *   default_formatter = "basic_string",
 * )
 */
class StringMediumItem extends StringItemBase {

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public static function schema(FieldStorageDefinitionInterface $field_definition) {
    return [
      'columns' => [
        'value' => [
          'type' => 'text',
          'size' => 'medium',
        ],
      ],
    ];
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public static function generateSampleValue(FieldDefinitionInterface $field_definition) {
    $random = new Random();
    $values['value'] = $random->paragraphs();
    return $values;
  }

}
