Date and post status are the wrong way around in post lists

[johnbillion]

On a post listing screen, a draft post that has been modified within the last 24 hours will show the following in the 'Date' column:

X hours ago
Last Modified

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Better would be:

Last Modified
X hours ago

Ideally the table cell should be treated as a whole to aid l10n and to improve the English presentation.

Patch which swaps the order of the date and post status and uses the entire string for l10n.

18641.diff​ simplifies this - just move the strings before the time

In 34005:

In WP_Posts_List_Table::column_date(), the order of status and time should be switched. It doesn't make sense for phrases like "Last Modified" to occur AFTER the date. Should be before.

Props johnbillion, wonderboymusic.
Fixes #18641.

I'm going to add some before and after screenshots. I'm attempting before and after shots of all visual changes on multiple devices. Screenshots are used in visual changelogs and the Today in the Nightly posts, all of which increases awareness of our usability and make ui review easier. ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/today-in-the-nightly/

If you'd like to help collect visuals, we want before and after screenshots on at least two devices, with one of them preferably being a phone. We're increasing our mobile/touch awareness by testing and capturing all visual changes from phones. Provide whatever screenshots you can. The Flow Patrol team will handle the remainder. Developers, taking screenshots of your patches and commits really helps ui/ux review and flow patrol. ​https://make.wordpress.org/flow/
