These seem to be the candidates.
+ Refresh
+ Clean-up
+ Tidy up
+ Organize
+ Re-sort
+ Re-order
I still don't see how we can have Refresh and Sync in the same
toolbar, unless we want Refresh to include Sync? I could go for that.
It would decrease the number of buttons in the toolbar.
Otherwise, I feel that if:
1. We can make it so that when the user clicks the Triage Status
column header, the column files all of the triaged items into their
appropriate sections; and
2. We grey out the Triage button when it can't be applied...
We've solved the really serious usability problem where people can't
figure out how to get triaged items out of the NOW section.
Eventually, new users will try clicking on the Triage button and
figure out what it does.
One side benefit of keeping the word Triage in the toolbar. It's the
only place where that terminology appears. We can think of it as a
branding / marketing tool.

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.
