I’m still trying to figure out if there is a way to do this. So far the only thing I’ve came up with is to uncheck the option in Settings » Media and then change the upload folder at the beginning of each year.
I think it’s annoying when it’s sorted by month because sometimes you forget when exactly you uploaded something. The web index is sortable by date modified anyway, but I wonder, is there a performance advantage to using the year/month folders?

Changing the uploads folder messed up the image URL for the [gallery] images.

Yes. Some hosts (GoDaddy) limit how many files you can have in a folder. Also indexing a smaller number of files takes less time.

Thanks – I guess I’m going to have to leave year/month sorting option on, although I do like to push the limits 😉 I imagine there is an Apache setting into the thousands.
