General Support: Customizing Album Sort Order

I have three albums that I want to sort in descending order by the event's date (name won't work). The problem is that the event that happened the longest time ago was just added recently and is thus showing up first. Can I either change the SQL statements to sort it by a different field, or can I update the MySQL database and update the "posted" date (or whatever the field is called)? I tried updating the plogger_pictures.date_submitted field, but that didn't affect the album sort order.

So in other words, if I have three albums (A, B, C with A the oldest and C the newest), I want them to display as:
C, B, A

But right now they are displaying A, C, B
