Most recent downloads should be shown first in 'Downloads' folder

[Lightbreeze]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Files in the Downloads folder can add up. At the moment the folder is sorted by name and it can be hard to find the file you recently downloaded. It's easy to forget a filename, and at the moment the download could be listed anywhere in a long wash of icons.

It would be much better to immediately see the most recent downloads when I open the folder.

Arranging icons by 'Modification Date' and in a 'Reversed Order' seems to solve this problem.
