Somebody would have to turn the whole changelog file upside down.

I don't like the idea.

The projects that have a "stack" changelog that I saw, use a GNU-style
changelog with one entry per change. Those are written top-to-bottom.
One entry for us is each release.

So either you should have

  change 8
  change 7
  change 6
  change 5
  change 4
  change 3
  change 2
  change 1

or

  release 3
    change 6
    change 7
    change 8

  release 2
    change 4
    change 5

  release 1
    change 1
    change 2
    change 3

which is what we have now, but

    change 8
    change 7
    change 6
  release 3

    change 5
    change 4
  release 2

    change 3
    change 2
    change 1
  release 1

seems just weird.  I'd keep the changelog the way it is.
