How to auto arrange all icons by kind?

[framebuffer]

Hi!

In windows, we can go to the folder options and choose "Apply to all folders" to apply the setting of a current folder to all other folders.

I opened the finder, pressed the "windows" key and choose view > keep arranged by > kind.

It does arrange things by kind, but if i move or delete a folder, it does not auto arrange it again by kind.

Can someone please elaborate upon this? How can I keep my folder auto arranged by kind?

Thanks.

open up a finder window... say applications or whatever.

press command+j to bring up the view options. set the auto arrange to what you'd like it to be and to apply it to all folders click "set to defaults" at the bottom.

That is what I am talking about!
