Describe the bug

Hi. I am one of translation contributors for ja. I was originally troubled by how Most Used Blocks and Common Blocks mean very similar in Japanese.


Even in English-English dictionary, it says:

Most = greatest in amount.
Common = occurring, found, or done often.

I thought about requesting to re-name Common Blocks to Essential Blocks or Standard Blocks. However, I realized the issue was more to do with grouping of Editor Inserter Menu.

I realized that I am having hard time navigating through Editor Inserter Menu as a user because the menu is not grouped by “attribution”.

Editor Inserter Menu Right now grouped this way:

Group Name Blocks
Most Used (Most Used Blocks)
Common Blocks Paragraph, List, Image, Heading, Gallery, Quote, Audio, Cover, File, Video
Formatting Code, Preformatted, Classic, Custom HTML, Pullquote, Table, Verse
Layout Elements Separator, Button, Columns, Media & Text, More, Page break, Spacer
Widgets Latest Posts, Shortcode, Archives, Categories, Latest Comments
Embeds Embed, WordPress, Twitter, YouTue, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

My suggestion, grouping by attribution.

Group Name Blocks
Most Used (Most Used Blocks)
Text Paragraph, List, Heading, Quote, Pullquote, Verse, Button, Preformatted
Media Image, Gallery, Audio, Video, Cover, Media & Text, File
Layout Table, Separator, Columns, More, Page break, Spacer
Embed Embed, WordPress, Twitter, YouTue, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Widget Latest Posts, Shortcode, Archives, Categories, Latest Commetns
Code Code, Custom HTML, Classic

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Editor Inserter Menu'
  2. Plese use it

Expected behavior
In order to find blocks easily, Editor Inserter Menu needs to be contextualized.
