The sorting feature in list pages produces inconsistencies, displaying varying results depending on the chosen sort field. For instance, sorting by name presents one set of data, while sorting by status reveals a different set of data. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Change Limit for search and filter results to 5 in Administration->General->GUI (master).
2. Navigate to media type list. (master: Alerts->Media types)
3. Sort results by Name.
4. Observe: one set of data is provided
   
5. Sort by Type and observe that different set of data is provided:
   

The display of different data in one table for each sorting column could be confusing for users, especially when managing larger datasets.

The optimal approach is uncertain. One possible approach could involve retrieving a single set of data and then sorting it accordingly.
