Automatically clean up folder icons

I have been copying over some photos over to my iMac. These were in quite a lot of folders. I like to have my folders arranged tidily. After the copying had finished, the folders were a bit untidy, and I cleaned them up by using the below keyboard shortcut.

I know I can use the keyboard short cut, option, cmd, 1. But I wondered if there was some setting that I'd overlooked that could keep all my folders arranged tidily automatically, without the need for me to do the keyboard shortcut?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iPad (3rd Gen) 32GB iPhone 5 32GB

On the desktop or in Finder?
