I believe the default behavior for the archive block should be to display the months in descending order, so the newest month first. This is done by updating the "Node: Created year + month" argument for the Block display to "Summary, sorted descending".

The fix has got unfixed it seems. Just activated the archive view and the block was showing months in ascending order. Has taken me ages to figure it out and find this post. Changed the setting as above and it now displays correctly
