Keeping files in order?

[PureTorque]

How do I keep files that are in a folder in order? For example if I open a folder the files are scattered and i have to scroll around left to right and up and down.

I tried right clicking and messing around with the "Show View Options" but it still doesn't seem to work.

Use List View via CMD+2.

Sorry, I use the icon view so I can see my photos. Is there a way in the mode?

Right click > Arrange By > ...
Right click > Clean Up

I want to see everything at once, kind of like in windows.

This is what I get when I use "Clean Up" Everything gets grouped and spread out.

Sounds like I'm SOTL.

And please use TIMG tags instead of IMG tags with images wider than 800 pixel. Just press the

button and add a "T" in front of the "IMG".
