Auto Arrange Icons

My new computer is running Yosemite 10.10.3.

Icons in a finder window arrange themselves automatically. In order manually arrange the icons, I have to go to the Action Button on top of the Finder window and click Arrange by / none AND I have to go to the View button on the tool bar, click View Options / Sort by / None. Doing either one of these without the other and the icons continue to arrange themselves automatically.

But after clicking both NONE options and manually arranging the icons, if I then click Arrange by / Name, the NONE option is turned off and the icons again automatically arrange.

Is there a way to permanently turn on the Arrange by / NONE option.

Thanks
Bob

Yes, go to the Menu bar at the top and click Edit > Show View Options (I hope that's where it is. I'm not at a Mac.) Settings made in SVO are "permanent" while doing it from within the Finder Window is not.

You might find it easier by looking at a good instructional page with a Google search or try this page for various options and views:

If Yosemite 10.10.3 still includes it, the sort "selected items" per choice is a handy option to use at times.
