finder questions (from windows user)

using lion 10.7.3

i think finder SUCKS - here are a couple things i was wondering if finder could do, or if there is an alternative

1. is it possible to have "list" and "column" together? for example, i like how in "list" they have columns for all types of file info such as date, size, kind, etc etc. in "column" all that is displayed is the name

2. in "column", can you do 2 different "arrange by"? for example, if i choose arrange by name, both the folders and content of the folders are sorted by name. i would like the folder to be arranged by date and content files within folder to be arranged by name

You may want to read them again, as your 2nd question about 2 criteria for arranging is directly answered there:

don't know what that image is suppose to show...it doesn't help with anything. if i'm in column view it will only let me arrange by 1 way, i'm trying to do 2

It sounds like you'd rather complain than learn. I'll leave you to figure it out for yourself.
