Remove date dropdown from Edit Selection mode

[pavelevap]

I selected 2 images from media library (uploaded during November 2014). Click "Edit Selection" and you can see that there is date dropdown with preselected value from December 2013. Date dropdown is misleading (and wrong) in this place. See attached screenshot.

Strange question, is this core? I don't have the ability to "edit selection" when doing a Bulk Select, I only have cancel/delete options. I'm unable to replicate this on my end, unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

I believe this is referring to the modal.

I confirm that this defect is present.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In the administration, open a post of any post type that has an editor.
2. Click "Add Media" to upload new a couple of images.
3. After the images have been uploaded, make sure they are selected.
4. Once more than 2 images are selected, click the "Edit Selection" button at the bottom of the screen.
5. This brings up the reported screen.

Indeed, there is a "Date" filter that does nothing and should not be there, as this screen is for reordering the selected media items.

Removing the date filter from the "Edit Selection" screen.

This has an additional bonus of showing the "Drag and drop to reorder images" string (previously hidden).

Yes, never noticed it before :-) But this string is not accurate, because you can reorder also for example video files, so maybe "Media files" should be better?

Make a hint on Edit Selection view in media modal more accurate, as it applies to all media files, not just images.

props pavelevap.
see #30931.

@SergeyBiryukov: We had "Drag and drop to reorder images." string which is now "Drag and drop to reorder media files." not only for Edit Selection modal, but also for Create Gallery. Maybe we can make this string universal and replace also "Drag and drop to reorder tracks." and "Drag and drop to reorder videos." with general term "media files"? Or we should create new string "Drag and drop to reorder images." for Create Gallery part to be consistent?

I think I would prefer a new string for Create Gallery. Let's create a new ticket :)
