Bug Description

The mouse wheel scrolling in stacks' curved GUI feels unnatural - I do not know how is this implemented in Leopard, but anytime I want to scroll in stacks, they always go the other direction than I expect.

I except it to behave as anything other that can be scrolled (ie. standard text)- if I scroll down, I except new items to pop up at the bottom of the window and if I scroll up, I except to see the previously seen items on the top.

I know that stacks are somewhat special, but current behaviour breaks mouse wheel scroll consistence. This change should also swap the arrows - the right arrow should correspond to scrolling down and items in stacks should be sorted from top to bottom, not vice versa - anyway currently you see on first page for example M-A and on second Z-N. People are still used to reading from top to bottom, the fact that the GUI pops up from dock which sits on bottom of the screen is irrelevant.

Of course this may be implemented as an option, but please it is a must, it's driving me crazy (and possibly not just me).
