Hi
Is there a way to auto-arrange icons on the desktop or a folder instead of right clicking and choosing sort by type all the time?

Thanks
Aditya
 
does this work?

or does it go back after you do that?
 
finder > view > show view options >arrange by...

that ought to do it. in a finder window you can also click the gear icon on the toolbar and get general settings for viewing windows, choose apply as defaults.

does this work?
