Who knows what is the difference between these options?

  • Clean up by
  • Arrange by
  • Sort by

All these options have very similar submenu: Name, Kind, Date created, etc. I find it very confusing and unnecessary. And even with so much "freedom" of sorting files, I still haven't found a way to organize my files the way Windows and Linux does naturally. E.g. folders first, settings are maintained across all system, aligned to grid and floated left (not just moved to nearest square). Seems easy enough, but it isn't. You can't put folders first. Just can't. This I could live with (albeit unhappy). Other options are there in menus and settings but somehow just don't work.

Way to f*ck up this very basic thing, Apple.
