how can I set photos to show me images by dates?

I started to use photos since this year,it is perfect,but there is only one thing I don't know how can I setup:

I have created some albums to collect my images by category.like pets,friends,family,school mates or something else.

and I found that the images in the album list as date added automatically,and it is ascending,that means the oldest photos in the top of the album,and the latest photo in the end of the album.I don't like that,because I have to scroll my trackpad for long to scroll the album to the end to watch the newest photo which I shot,

so ,my question is can I list my photos as descending in albums?I want to see the latest images when I open the album,just like Aperture?

thanks

No - that is not currently an option - tell Apple what you need - https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

and Apple has announced more sorting options will be available in El Captain this fall - http://www.apple.com/osx/elcapitan-preview/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-mac-com

I don't like it either, but I have set the System Preferences > General to always show the scrollbars. This way I can click at the end of the scroll bar to jump to the bottom of the album and don't need to scroll:

That's not true. In albums images are displayed by Date Taken ➙ Ascending, not date added. They can also be manually sorted in an album.
