Folder View Options

Just moved over the dark side.

And I'm looking for an option similar to "Apply to all folders" on Windows for the way I want my folders to look. At the moment I have to keep going into each folder one by one to set the folder to sort by name.

Probably going to be right under my nose now, but I've tried looking all over.

Cheers mr.sly

I always use this view option in Finder and I don't think it's ever done anything but sort by name.

Thanks for the reply, I'm using the icon view (far left option) and if I move new items into folders using that view, they don't snap to the grid and they don't auto sort A-Z, unless I go into 'Show View Options' and then choose 'Arrange by name'. But it's getting a little tiresome doing it for each folder now.

That will set it in all Finder windows (there's a separate one for the desktop)
