[Sum] Re: [Design] Should dashboard display order change immediately after edits?

[Mimi Yin]

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?

resorting immediately after edits
