icons spread out when moving from finder to desktop

So, for my job I combine a lot of files into one singular file. The easiest way for me to do this is to click and drag the files from finder and then I move them to the desktop. When I click and drag the icons to the desktop they spread out into no concernable pattern and its just random and weird. However, if I drag the files back to finder and then back to the desktop they stay in a nice, neat orderly horizontal line. How can I change it so it NEVER spreads them out randomly and they always just show as an orderly line? Not sure who would even want that feature. 🥴
