Title:
  needs a way to organize by directory / asciibetical

Status in gallery-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a nice tablet which runs Ubuntu Touch.  I'd like to use it for
  tablet-y things, like reading manga and comics.  There's a nice
  gallery app to display pictures.  So far, so good.  But it has no
  function to browse by directory or sort by directory or filename or
  full path, or anything which would facilitate looking at a long
  sequence of well-named files in their asciibetical order.

  An "events"-like view, listing directories and their contents, would
  be nice.  However, I'd be happy to simply be able to sort files in the
  correct order, like what I'd get with 'find /home/phablet/Pictures
  -type f | sort'.  Maybe a reverse sort instead, to put 'z' before 'a',
  since that would also mean newer dates and higher numbers (more recent
  images) would show first.  This would also sort a camera card dump in
  most-recent-first order, such as the "DCIM" folder on a Canon camera.

  I'm hoping to be able to view an ordered directory tree with files names such as:
  /home/phablet/Pictures/comics/Batman/v01/ch01/p14.jpg

  Being able to actually see the filenames/path would help too, to get
  an idea what page/chapter/etc I'm viewing.
