I was using Picassa the other say and it had them sorted newest on
top, but each folder was sorted with the old ones first.   This may
sound odd, but it makes a lot of sense.  The newest pictures are shown
first but you also in the order you took them, which makes sense.

My preference would be to have newest pictures on top with a
horizontal separator between each month or so. Inside each month the
oldest pictures are first but the months are sorted new to old.  The
horizontal separators would also help to break up the undending sea of
pictures when you start to have thousands to scroll through.
