Yes, but this only allows you to arrange by name.

True, but I like using the icon view -- it gives me a much better idea of what
type of file it is at first glance.  I use that all the time on my Windows
system (and even on Mac OS 9.2) when arranging files.  It's much quicker in my
experience than reading the file type on the list view.
