Is there a way to let the finder keep the desktop in a 'cleaned up by name' status. I'd prefer to have this as a default rather than by e.g. regularly using cmd+j and selecting by name?

Set the View Options to Sort by name.

Not as common a fix as it was, but still has its successes.
Hi, yes, that's what I though but it doesn't stick / take. I guess the finder window preference file has got damaged and needs replacing. Many thanks for your time and for the suggestion. It's been helpful to have my thinking confirmed.
