#21643: Uploaded media should keep alphabetic order

 When dragging a bunch of files on the "Drop files here" upload field, one
 would expect that they are automatically ordered by their filenames. In
 the case of photos taken by a digital device, this would mostly get them
 in chronological order.

 Strangely, WordPress is reverting this order when saving.

 What we observe:
 - During the upload process, the files are displayed in alphabetic order.
 - After clicking "Save all changes", we are presented with the media
 gallery view: the order is now reverted.

 If we want to put them in the correct, alphabetic order, we need to click
 the "Sort Order > Descending" link, and save. This isn't very intuitive.
