Apologies for entering this thread so late.
The term "clean up" may connote to the idea of (unused) things going
into the trash or being deleted.
Is there some voodoo other than re-sorting going on? If not, would
"re-sort" not be the clearest and most obvious?
Otherwise, I think that enough apps (including the browser) use
"refresh" as a term to indicate "update this view" that leveraging
that term would lower the bar to understanding and adoption significantly.
My two piastres. :)
+1 for refresh; this behavior isn't different enough from what other
applications do to warrant new terminology.
Users who aren't familiar with "refresh" aren't going to know what
"clean up" means either. Meanwhile, our early adopters will likely
be people who've used enough other apps to know what "refresh" means,
so inventing a new term is just putting an extra entry barrier in
front of them.
