Comment (by abitofmind):

 == Can someone please look into this?

 This behavior is such a usability horror when inserting screenshot series!
 - Where the slight difference is NOT visible instantly on a square
 thumbnail without a filename
 - Where a reliable ordering by filename / title asc/desc would really
 support you!
 - No workaround whatsoever: Even when using search and being filtered to
 "My image series" when the images come in order "… 7, ...5 , …3, …1, …2,
 …4, …6" (which ever one was first during batch upload! or was later
 added!), its really such a chaotic mess!

 **Polemically said**: I don't want to play a 5min

 session each time when entering an image series, but instead want to
 perform an efficient from-to-selection within 5secs.

 There is no workaround: All 3rd party Image Blocks I know of usually
 facilitate this dialog.

 Gutenberg has Block Inserter → Media, which is a bit better, but still
 suffers many of the same problems (see screenshot in next post):
