Let's take a look at how photos are ordered in picture gallery and the camera application. The list is sorted by time. P0 is the oldest, and Pn is the most recent photo.
Camera: [P0] - [P1] - [...] - [Pn-1] - [Pn] - [camera]
Gallery: [Pn] - [Pn-1] - [...] - [P1] - [P0] - [Pn] - [Pn-1] ...
I think this is quite confusing. Pictures are sorted in opposite ways between these two apps. Let's assume I have a cover on my home screen which is showing a photo I've taken recently. I have no way to distinguish whether that cover represents gallery or camera. This also means that I cannot tell which direction to scroll if I want to look at older pictures.
My suggestion is to reverse the camera order and change the preview to be accessible from the right side like this: [camera] - [Pn] - [Pn-1] - [...] - [P0]
This is more of a UI consistency problem than a bug. Feel free to remove bug tag if it's not appropriate.

I think this is quite confusing. Pictures are sorted in opposite ways between these two apps.

After opening the camera and seeing the preview picture you often start scrolling to the left since you're used to the gallery sorting, which only takes you further away from the camera.
My suggestion is to reverse the camera order and change the preview to gallery sorting and append new photos to the end of the list instead of the beginning. This would reflect the way traditional photo albums work; You don't shift every photo one step to the right when adding a new one. But most importantly, this way both the camera and the gallery would be accessible from the right side like this:
[camera] - [Pn] - [Pn-1] - [...] - [P0]consistent in listing your pictures.

Originally this topic suggested changing the camera ordering. On second thought it would be more logical the reverse the gallery. At this point two votes were given. I hope I'm not being reckless to these two voters. The fundamental point of this topic still remains the same.
