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.
