It seems like we've successfully separated out the 'I can't figure out how to file my Triaged items into their appropriate sections' user problems from the rest of this thread.

https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11290 - Rename Triage button http://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9175 - Why is the Triage Status sort button broken?

As for the issue of whether ALL the columns in the Triage Table View should work like the Triage Status column (assuming bug 9175 is implemented), what are the remaining open issues?

1. If an user has made edits and the items are "out-of-order", how do we order new and edited items that come in via background sync? (We could do the same thing we do when the table is sorted by Triage Status - Drop the new and edited items in at the top, marked as Unread.)

2. If we move to manual sorting, do we need to change the icon for the 'Triage' button?

/me shrugs. Perhaps I'm biased due to too much use of MS Access. You can edit values in its table view all you want, but until you manually refresh, the items displayed and the order don't change. Heck, even changes made by other people don't affect the order or displayed items until you refresh.

In other words, I'm used to seeing the state of "field contents" as being a distinct part of the model from "the list and order of displayed items".

Anyway, my point was that there exists precedent for using the word "refresh" to mean "update the listed items' order and presence to reflect changes in their values".
