Indeed. Testing now, I can see that on GIMP 2.8.20, the black part of 
the gradient is on the left. On master though (the development branch), 
it is on the bottom.

I don't know what is the right one here (if there is such a thing as 
"right" for this case) but if this changed for no reason, that's likely 
an issue. If you could determine on which version of GIMP this changed, 
this would be useful.

Also you should rather open a bug report: 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP
This mailing list is dedicated to user interface and usability 
discussion. Therefore we could discuss on whether one direction of the 
gradient was better than the other (though I guess it does not actually 
matter other than being used to one?). But here it looks more like a bug 
(direction changed for no usability reason, as far as I know?), no?
Thanks.
