where is the the position of files stored where they appear in the finder window? How is this organized?

I have in my Application Folder all my APP-Folders and App-Files stored on some specific screen position, so I know which app is in which corner of the Application folder window to find...

However, always I done an update or reinstalled MacOS (over the old installation), the original file location of all the appfiles are gone after the update and the Icons never be at the "screen position" where they before the update...

Would like to know, how MacOs manage their Position in a Folder Window and if theirs position could be somehow saved with some kind of App maybe.. (I've seen such an App, doing this for the Icon position of the Desktop, but not for an individual folder, in ex. for the App-Folder)

Anyone know something ab MacOs organize this? Is there maybe a hidden File which oranize the files Position in a Window which I could copy and maybe later restore to get the originals position back? Is there maybe an App, which could to the trick?

Thx, Tom
