Media views are inconsistent

Problem/Motivation

Views of Media provided by Drupal core are inconsistent. The labels for exposed filters are different, the order of exposed filters is different, the sort options are different, the submit button text is different, the table headers for fields are different. Moving between them is an unnecessarily disjointed experience.

Compare the following screenshots:

/admin/content/media

/admin/content/media/media-grid

Media Library table view

Steps to reproduce

• Install Drupal core and compare the views of Media.

Proposed resolution

The exposed filters and fields on Media views should be standardized as much as possible, so that when moving between them they look and function in a consistent way. There can be an exception for the Media Library, which understandably has less space for filters and fields because it is displayed in a modal window.

I think the filters for /admin/content/media and /admin/content/media/media-grid should be in this order with these labels:

Name | Type | Status | Language | Sort by | Filter

I think the fields for /admin/content/media should be in this order with these labels:

Thumbnail | Name | Provider | Author | Status | Updated | Operations

There is currently inconsistency with using "Name" or "Media name" and "Type" or "Media type". I think because these are views of Media, "Media" is implied and unnecessary. We shorten these filter labels.

Remaining tasks
