native blog alike apperance as sorted list of subalbums

Last days I was trying to integrate g2 into a blog or vice versa and played around with wpg2. Beside the fact wp2g seems not to be maintaned any more it works but I'm not that happy. I come to the conckussion that I rather like to have something like a native blog mode inside gallery where you don't have to hazzle with an additional tool. database, permissions, users, comments and so on. Actually any data I need is already inside my gallery, so there is just no need to make it complicated. I have photos, text, comments, users including permissions - everything I need for a blog. The only thing which is "wrong" (in term of the goal I'd like to achive) is the way gallery display my (sub) albums. It would be nice if I could just get them sorted by date as a list (album desciption including any or some pictures) of any subalbums (on lowest levels) from any (different) albums. This would look like a blog, you understand what I mean?

Is there any way (plugin or even theme) to achive this?

In addition it would be nice to add a tree view like in wpg2 for navigating the gallery in the current way. Any ideas?
