When hanging ceilings, I used to hold sheets up with my head and elbows while starting the first few nails/screws until I helped a friend who rented a lift.
Wow. If you're not experienced, it is a huge help to have each sheet stay where you want.
I have started at the floor and worked up as you suggest. Works fine. But-
If there is any chance of water intrusion at the floor level, start the sheets up high enough that they stay above the moisture. Usually a 1/4 or 1/2 inch is plenty. Just set the bottom sheet on a couple shims. Water can wick up into the sheetrock and get moldy. Mold, however, disappears with a squirt of bleach.
