arranging photos by date modified without sections, is it possible?

Before mountain lion I always arranged my photos by date modified (newest at the top) and they would be all in one window, all in neat little icons.... Now I can arrange by date modified BUT they show in separate sections which I absolutely hate! Is there any way to get rid of the sections? I want the old way back with the photos from various dates all in one window arranged from most recent to earlier. So far this (and no window shade) are my only complaints about Mountain Lion. And I made the move from Leopard to this quite easily. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those things I cannot change but thought I'd ask the experts anyway. Thanks all!
