[Feature] Reverse Timeline Scroll Direction (Latest at Bottom, Scroll Up to Go Backward in Time)

The feature

Immich currently displays the most recent photos at the top of the timeline, with older photos appearing as you scroll downward. This can feel unintuitive especially for users coming from Apple Photos, which does the opposite (new photos stack at the bottom, and you scroll up to look into the past).

I’d love to have an option in the settings (global or per-user) to reverse the timeline scroll direction:

• The timeline would still load to the latest photo, as it does now.
• The photos would be ordered from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom.
• Scrolling up would move backward in time, not forward.
• Infinite scroll would load older assets when scrolling up, not down.

A toggle for this behavior would allow users to choose whichever scroll direction feels more intuitive.

Thanks for considering this!
