is that you have not found that feature yet, not that Mac does not have it.
take a look the view options and pick the arrangement that you would like
Is that what you are looking for ?

I just recently switched to Leopard from being an extreme Windows XP user, like...Extreme, I hated macs, I hated apple, I hated everything related like that. I knew almost everything about Windows XP..
Now, I've switched to a mac for School purposes, I needed a laptop that I can take notes with and use heavy software that my course teaches within mac and windows. so only a macbook pro would suffice.
Now to get to the real problem..
Windows had a handy auto-arrange feature which kept everything within the grid and always kept it alphabetical and by kind/type (folder first and then files etc..)
I've noticed that mac doesn't have this.. I'm frustrated by this because it was a key feature in windows that I loved. Now when I trash something, there's a big whole in the grid. I have to right klik and arrange it every single time...
Very annoying.
Thanx in advance
