Allow the inversion of the file order in albums. #330

This is primarily useful to keep the filenames stable. Google Photos by default gives the latest photo the "first" position. This results in all symlinks renaming if new album photos appear. With this flag, old pictures will mostly keep their name and new ones will get higher number prefixes as long as no photos are added in the middle of a timeline, which is pretty rare for auto-uploaded photos.

@gilesknap Any opinions about this? I have been running it localy every day for some time now but I would also be willing to flesh it out some more to allow for a custom file format that one can definite with a format string.

Hi, really sorry this has sat around for so long. My GitHub notifications broke for a while and I have not been paying attention to this project (see #341)

I'll try to review this soon.

Sorry for the extreme delay.

If you are still interested in working on the custom file format then I think that would be a good feature.

I'm spending a bit of time on the project now that we have a fix for the token issue.
